The Pentagon is investigating leaks of top-secret documents related to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
The
documents, which date to early March and reportedly include information
about U.S. military involvement in the conflict and assessments of the
Russian military's capabilities, have been circulating on Twitter and
Telegram.
- The documents include maps of Ukraine, charts detailing troop concentrations, and lists of the weapons available to troops.
- A senior Ukrainian official and a pro-Russia military blogger separately speculated that the leaked documents could be part of a ploy to mislead their side.
- The
documents may have been altered to offer lower estimates of Russian
casualties and higher estimates of Ukrainian casualties.
- The documents do not include details about a potential Ukrainian counter-offensive against Russian forces in eastern Ukraine.
- The
Pentagon's inspector general is conducting the investigation, and
officials have not yet identified any suspects or provided details about
how the leak occurred.
