A US official told NBC News that Russian President Vladimir Putin is being fed bad information by his top advisors because they are too afraid to tell him the truth about the failures of the war.

The official told NBC News that they believe that Putin is being misled by his advisors about how badly the Russian military is performing and how the Russian economy is being crippled by sanctions because his senior advisors are too afraid to tell him the truth.

The official said that Putin didn't even know his military was using and losing conscripts in Ukraine, showing a breakdown in the flow of accurate information to the Russian president.

Western officials told reporters on Tuesday that Russian elites will likely blame each other for Russia's disastrous progress in the war with Ukraine.

A Western official speaking on the condition of anonymity said that it was likely that the Russian system would blame each other for the lack of success in Ukraine.

The official said that people are going to be defensive about their own failures and look to point the finger at others.

The official told reporters that the West is less certain that Putin is getting an honest picture of the ground in Ukraine.

That is one of the reasons why Western media, Ukrainian media, is important in continuing to make sure the reality of this conflict is known and understood.

On February 24th, Putin launched Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with Russian troops surrounding and shelling several towns across the eastern European country.

Despite being outnumbered and outgunned by Russian troops, the Ukrainians have put up a fierce resistance, resulting in a mounting Russian death toll.
