Ukraine says Pentagon's data leak will not affect war’s course, not all plans disclosed to US
Ukraine believes that the Pentagon data leak will not affect the course of the war with Russia. Some plans for a counteroffensive have not been disclosed to the US
AP reported the information.
"Ukraine’s leaders say they don’t see a major US intelligence leak as gravely damaging future offensives. A key reason: They have long held back on sharing their most sensitive operational information, doubting Washington’s ability to keep their secrets safe," the outlet writes.
Only Ukrainians know some battle plans and other operational information.
But the US considers the leaks to be grave.
"The documents include previously unreported sensitive disclosures about Ukraine, South Korea, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and others. Senior Biden administration officials are working to stop the flow of classified information onto social media and websites and head off any lasting damage to relationships with allies and strategic partners," AP reports.
AP journalists point out that Russia is studying these documents with particular interest to find something useful for itself.
