**Of course the entire narrative for this article comes from mostly anonymous western intelligence experts and analysts**

> “***U.S. and European security officials, security experts and analysts specializing in international intelligence capabilities. Many spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence details.”***

[NYT’s](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/28/world/europe/russia-concert-attack-security-failures.html) via [Archive.ph](https://archive.ph/35xEO)

> The full picture is still unclear, and U.S. and European officials, as well as **security and counterterrorism experts, emphasize that even in the best of circumstances, with highly specific information and well-oiled security services, disrupting covert international terror plots is difficult.**

> But they say the failure most likely resulted from a combination of factors, paramount among them the deep levels of distrust, **both within the Russian security establishment and` in its relations with other global intelligence agencies.`**
> 
> The adversarial relationship between Washington and Moscow **`prevented U.S. officials from sharing any information about the plot beyond what was necessary, out of fear Russian authorities might learn their intelligence sources or methods.`**

**That Russia would mistrust other global intelligence agencies would be a given. For obvious reasons.** T**hat the US *would not provide information about the plot that may expose their sources or methods or connections.*.. Also not surprising**

**Pay particular attention to the fact this NYT’s articles relies on unverified/unverifiable information from The Dossier Center**

> **The Dossier Center was founded in by the exiled Russian tycoon Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky, a longtime opponent of Mr. Putin. The authenticity of its report could not be independently verified.**
