The Guardian reports:
Vladimir Putin personally authorised a secret spy agency operation to support a “mentally unstable” Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election during a closed session of Russia’s national security council, according to what are assessed to be leaked Kremlin documents.
The key meeting took place on 22 January 2016, the papers suggest, with the Russian president, his spy chiefs and senior ministers all present.
They agreed a Trump White House would help secure Moscow’s strategic objectives, among them “social turmoil” in the US and a weakening of the American president’s negotiating position. Russia’s three spy agencies were ordered to find practical ways to support Trump, in a decree appearing to bear Putin’s signature.

The document discusses the damage western sanctions have inflicted on the Russian economy. It concludes the #Kremlin can best destabilise the US by backing the “impulsive” and “mentally unstable” Trump, a person with conservative views and an “inferiority complex”

The @guardian understands western intelligence agencies have been aware of the documents for some months and have closely studied them. The papers appear to represent a serious and highly unusual leak from within #Putin’s Kremlin
