Secret documents have been leaked on social media about US and NATO plans to prepare Ukraine for a spring offensive against Russia New York Times.
The Pentagon says it is evaluating the reported security breach. “We are aware of the reports in social media posts and are investigating the matter,” said deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh.
The documents were circulated on Twitter and Telegram and reportedly contained images and details of arms deliveries, battalion strength and other sensitive information, the paper said.
The information in the documents is at least five weeks old, the most recent of which is dated March 1.
One of the documents summarized the training schedules of 12 Ukrainian combat brigades, saying that nine of them were trained by US and NATO forces and required 250 tanks and more than 350 mechanized vehicles.
The documents – at least one of which was labeled “top secret” – were leaked through pro-Russian government channels.
Information in the documents also details spending rates for munitions under Ukraine’s military control, including HIMARS missile systems, the US-made artillery missile systems that have proven highly effective against Russian forces.
The report quoted military analysts as warning that some documents appear to have been altered, in a disinformation campaign by Russia, in a document inflating the death toll among Ukrainian troops and downplaying Russian losses on the battlefield.
