一名前俄罗斯将军指责俄罗斯在2022年入侵乌克兰失败时有错误情报, A former Russian general blamed flawed intelligence for Russia’s failed 2022 invasion of Ukraine, citing mistaken beliefs about Ukrainian support.

前俄罗斯将军弗拉基米尔·奇金(Vladimir Chirkin)在2025年11月与RBC的罕见访谈中批评俄罗斯情报界, Former Russian General Vladimir Chirkin, in a rare November 2025 interview with RBC, criticized Russia’s intelligence community, giving it a failing grade for misjudging Ukrainian public sentiment and military readiness ahead of the 2022 invasion. 他说,乌克兰领导人被误导,认为70%的乌克兰人支持亲俄罗斯的统治,而事实上,反对派是强大的,为俄罗斯的早期运动失败和从基辅撤退作出了贡献。 He said leaders were misled into believing 70% of Ukrainians supported pro-Russian rule, when in reality, opposition was strong, contributing to Russia’s failed early campaign and retreat from Kyiv. Chirkin将过度自信、规划不善、设备过时、以及「第比利斯综合症」(Tbilisi Insistence)称为关键失败, Chirkin cited overconfidence, poor planning, outdated equipment, and the "Tbilisi syndrome"—troops’ hesitation to act without orders—as key failures. 尽管有严格的法律反对批评战争,他还是直言不讳,这反映出国内日益承认俄罗斯在情报和军事方面的缺陷。 His candid remarks, made despite strict laws against criticizing the war, reflect growing internal acknowledgment of Russia’s intelligence and military shortcomings.
