Due to the leak of secret American documents, Ukraine has already changed some of its military plans.
As reported by Censor.NET with reference to UP, sources informed CNN about this.
Secret Pentagon documents released online in recent weeks show how the U.S. spies on both allies and adversaries, deeply troubling U.S. officials who fear the revelations could compromise sensitive sources and compromise important international relations.
Some of the original documents reveal the extent of American wiretapping of key allies, including South Korea, Israel, and Ukraine.
Others reveal the extent of US penetration of Russia's Defense Ministry and Russia's Wagner PMC, mostly through intercepted communications and human sources that may now be cut off or compromised.
Others reveal key weaknesses in Ukraine's weapons, air defenses, battalion numbers, and readiness at a critical moment in the war when Ukrainian forces are preparing for a counteroffensive against the Russians -- and just as the U.S. and Ukraine have begun to develop a more trusting relationship in intelligence sharing.
Ukraine has already changed some of its military plans because of the leak, a source close to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN.
The Pentagon has made an "interagency effort" to assess the impact of the leak, Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh said Sunday.
"The Department of Defense continues to examine and evaluate the authenticity of photographed documents that are being shared on social media and appear to contain sensitive and classified material," Singh said in a statement. as well as on our allies and partners."
Singh added that US officials spoke with allies and partners over the weekend about the leak and informed "appropriate congressional committees".
The leak also prompted the Pentagon to take steps to tighten controls on the flow of such top-secret documents, usually accessible to hundreds of people in the government, officials said.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff, which consists of the Defense Department's top military leadership that advises the president, is examining the mailing lists to determine who is receiving the data, a Defense Department official said.
Many of the documents are marked to indicate they were prepared by the intelligence unit of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, known as J2, and appear to be briefing documents.
On Friday, Singh said the department was continuing to look into the matter and had referred it to the Justice Department, which separately confirmed to CNN that it had opened an investigation into the source of the leak.
