Pentagon data leak: Biden orders greater protection of classified data

This was reported by the press service of the White House.

"I commend the rapid action taken by law enforcement to investigate and respond to the recent dissemination of classified U.S. government documents," the US president said.

In particular, the statement said that Joe Biden ordered the military and intelligence agencies to strengthen protection and limit the dissemination of sensitive information.

"While we are still determining the validity of those documents, I have directed our military and intelligence community to take steps to further secure and limit distribution of sensitive information, and our national security team is closely coordinating with our partners and allies," the message said.

• On April 6, The New York Times reported on the leak of classified documents outlining the US and NATO's plans to strengthen the Ukrainian army in preparation for a planned counteroffensive. The Pentagon launched an investigation into the matter.
