Risk of leakage of documents on counteroffensive is minimal, - Defense Ministry
Much of the data leaked on social media is not true. Very few people actually know about upcoming military operations.
This was stated by Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Maliar during a telethon, reports Censor.NЕТ with reference to 24 channel.
"The risk of leakage is minimal," she emphasized.
According to Maliar, the possibility cannot be completely ruled out, as there are technical ways to know the information. However, so far there have been no such leaks from the Ukrainian side.
The official noted that security measures are being taken to avoid the possibility of leakage. Special services are working on this.
As a reminder, military documents detailing secret US and NATO plans to build up the Ukrainian army ahead of a planned offensive against Russia were published in a telegram and on Twitter in early April.
Later, a new batch of classified documents appeared on social media, allegedly detailing US national security secrets regarding Ukraine, the Middle East, and China.
The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the leak of a huge number of U.S. intelligence documents.
According to Reuters, the leaked classified information about US and NATO plans to strengthen the Ukrainian Armed Forces before a counteroffensive may be a fake. In turn, according to Politico, the leak of classified documents has led to a crisis in relations between the United States and its allies.
Ukraine has already changed some of its military plans because of the leaked Pentagon cables.
The UK Ministry of Defense emphasized that the published documents contain significant inaccuracies, so "readers should be careful not to take statements that could potentially spread misinformation at face value."
