The lack of loyalty to the Russian president also reflects the reluctance of troops to be deployed in the war zone, with the Kremlin recruiting what experts say are untrained prisoners.
Putin’s secret agents are refusing to work in the regions of Ukraine that have fallen under Russian control, even with a significant increase in their salary, according to a report by the “Daily Mail”.
A source of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of the country announced that they do not accept to go, despite the significant benefits they are “offered”, i.e. up to 8 times their salary!
The lack of loyalty to the Russian president by intelligence agents also reflects the reluctance of troops to deploy to the war zone, with the Kremlin recruiting untrained prisoners, including those convicted of murder, according to experts. There is even an attempt to bring agents out of retirement, with the aim of taking on a role on the battlefields.
However, interest seems to be low, as an FSB agent noted. “We called 200 pensioners and only three said they would consider it. Despite promises of great pay and perks».
Some officers are reportedly seeking to quit the service. The FSB – Russia’s Federal Security Service and successor to the KGB – was once headed by Putin. Its current head is Alexander Bortnikov’s close ally.
