Trump supporters may be involved in leak of classified documents from Pentagon - international expert Kraiev 

He expressed this opinion on Espreso TV.

"There is a very real risk that Donald Trump's supporters may be involved in the leak of information about the Ukrainian counteroffensive from the Pentagon. Because among Trump's supporters there are many people who have cooperated with Russia, and some are still cooperating today. In fact, Trump himself is suspected of such cooperation," Kraiev explained.

The expert noted that Russia has resources in the United States that it can sometimes use to harm the West.

"The information leak from the Pentagon is a confirmation that there are still people in the United States who are ready to play along with Russia and create such high-profile cases. It is worth recalling that over the past 2 months, 5 American citizens have been arrested in the United States for spying for Russia. So this case has shown us a really serious problem with the fact that the Russians still have a certain resource in the United States, which can sometimes do harm like this," he added.

• On April 6, The New York Times wrote about the leak of classified documents detailing US and NATO plans to build up the Ukrainian army before a planned counteroffensive. The Pentagon launched an investigation.

• Almost immediately, a new batch of secret documents appeared on social networks, which reveal American national security secrets regarding Ukraine, the Middle East, and China.

• Already on April 8, Ukrainian intelligence reported that the so-called classified military documents about offensive plans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are actually a forgery and a special operation of the Russian services. Russia could forge documents to disrupt Western aid to Ukraine.

• April 10 Ukraine's Presidential Administration says the leaked Pentagon files do not contain data on the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counteroffensive, while Austin says they are still assessing the extent of the leak.
