AFU’s counteroffensive plan leaked online is fake by Russian special services

A representative of Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate, Andriy Yusov, told about this during a telethon.

According to the official, the relevant "secret" documents are fake.

"Over the past decades, the most successful operations of the Russian special services have been conducted in Photoshop. From the preliminary analysis of these materials, we see false figures on losses on both sides. Some of the information is clearly collected from public sources," Yusov said.

The official suggested that the Russians could have forged the documents to disrupt or slow down Western assistance to Ukraine.

"It's no secret that Ukraine is asking for aircraft, tanks, ammunition and other things that are needed to liberate the occupied territories as soon as possible and to save lives. For the rest, we will wait for official comments. But the Ukrainian society has no reason to worry," said the Intelligence representative.

According to Yusov, the Ukrainian counteroffensive will take place, and the Russian enemy will see and feel the main plans on the battlefield.

• On April 6, the New York Times reported on the leak of classified documents detailing US and NATO plans to build up the Ukrainian army ahead of a planned counteroffensive.

• Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of Ukraine's President Zelenskyy's office, said that Russian troops would be the first to know when Ukraine would launch a counteroffensive, and it would be very soon.
