The classified documents are said to contain, among other things, information about Ukraine, China and the Middle East.
New US documents have appeared on social media, which seem to contain classified information from Ukraine, China and the Middle East, among other things. The New York Times reported on the matter.
According to the authorities, a possible data leak is very damaging. One intelligence official describes the leak as “a nightmare for five eyes.” This refers to the intelligence network formed by the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Earlier, the newspaper reported that information about how the United States and NATO plan to support Ukraine in its planned spring offensive has been leaked to the Twitter and Telegram channels. The published documents have included, among other things, photographs of diagrams containing details of arms deliveries, battalion strengths and other plans. At least one document has been marked as top secret.
Worked in the US Department of Defense in the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency in the CIA Mick Mulroy considers the potential leak of information significant, which could damage the military plans of the Ukrainian army. He estimates that behind the leak is a party that hopes to harm Ukraine, the United States and the military alliance NATO.
A Ukrainian official estimates that the leaked documents may be about Russia’s efforts to undermine faith in Ukraine’s planned counterattack. Many Russian war bloggers, on the other hand, warned against trusting the information in the documents. One blogger speculated that the documents might be an attempt by Western intelligence organizations to mislead the Russian military leadership.
