US Defense Department Investigates Leaked Top-Secret Military Documents on US Plans in Ukraine Conflict

The US Department of Defense is understood to be investigating a leak of top-secret military documents related to US plans in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine on social media. The documents allegedly include charts and details, such as arms shipments, number of battalions, and other sensitive information.

The leaked documents detail US and NATO plans to prepare Ukraine for an offensive against Russia, with the Pentagon saying it will investigate the alleged security flaws. Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said the department is aware of the reports and is looking into the matter.

The documents relate to Ukraine’s military offensive against the Russian military during the spring and are about five weeks old, with the most recent one containing a reference to March 1. One document contains the training program for 12 Ukrainian combat brigades and states that nine of them were trained by US and NATO forces. The same document also mentions the need for 250 tanks and over 350 mechanized vehicles.

The documents also contain details of expenditure on ammunition under Ukrainian military control, including spending on the US-made Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS. This US artillery rocket system has proven to be highly effective against the Russian military in Ukraine.

Military analysts have warned that some of the leaked documents could potentially be manipulated by Russia for use in its disinformation campaign. This has raised alarm bells in the US Department of Defense, with the Pentagon investigating the alleged security flaws that led to the leak.
