Putin's inner circle losing its power, Russian journalist says

Istories editor Roman Anin says Vladimir Putin was encouraged to invade Ukraine by the former President Viktor Yanukovych's entourage, noting they wanted to gain power and money for intelligence work.

Anin claimed some of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich's entourage fled Ukraine along with their boss and are essentially under protection and on the payroll of Moscow – and their intelligence is out of date and skewed to their own interests. 

"The reason why this information was fake in some cases or exaggerated in others, is that these people, the elite of Yanukovich, had two main goals when they informed the FSB [Russia's top security agency] about what was going on in Ukraine. Their first goal was to earn money because, you know, they were asking for a lot of money to do some kind of intelligence work in Ukraine. But the second reason is more important. Their desire was to go back to Ukraine and to actually get the power back," Anin, the editor of "Important Stories" (Istories), told Fox News.
