News on Russia's poor military performance is not making it back to Putin, the White House says.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is being misled by advisers who are too scared to tell him how badly the war in Ukraine is going, the White House says.
"Putin's war has been a strategic blunder that has left Russia weaker over the long term and increasingly isolated on the world stage," she said. Ukrainian forces have begun attempts to retake some areas from Russia, which on Tuesday said it would scale back operations around Kyiv and the northern city of Chernihiv.
Russia's defence ministry proposed a one-day ceasefire in besieged Mariupol on Thursday to let people leave. This came after Mr Putin saida US defence official said some Russian troops were leaving the Chernobyl area - home to a former nuclear plant that was the site of the world's worst nuclear accident in 1986 - and heading to neighbouring Belarus.
