A Russian spy chief and his deputy have been placed under house arrest by Vladmir Putin as the president blames his security services for the resistance met in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it has been claimed.

According to a leading expert on the Russian security services, Sergey Beseda, head of the FSB’s foreign intelligence branch, was arrested along with his deputy, Anatoly Bolyukh.

Andrei Soldatov, who is co-founder and editor of Agentura- a watchdog of the Russian secret services’ activities - revealed that sources inside the FSB have confirmed the detention of both men.

The arrests were further corroborated by Vladimir Osechkin, an exiled Russian human rights activist who also added that the FSB officers had carried out searches at over 20 addresses in Moscow of colleagues suspected to be speaking with journalists.

1. Probably experts at plotting coups, too.

I wouldn't discount this as a motivation for Putin's actions. Paranoid or Justified?

2. Setbacks?

I thought everything was right on schedule and going just as planned.
