NATO Secret Data: Armed Forces Changed Plans for Future Counter -Offset - Media
This was said on April 9, the source of the American TV channel CNN. Thanks to the declassification of Pentagon documents, it became clear how the US was spying for allies and enemies. The fact of disclosure was very concerned about US officials who are now afraid to threaten confidential sources of information and important international relations, it is noted in the material.
"Some of the documents that officials in the United States call real are exposed to the scope of key allies, including South Korea, Israel and Ukraine," journalists said. The rest of the materials show the degree of penetration of the United States into the Ministry of Defense of Russia and the Russian PEC "Wagner". This was done mainly by intercepting messages and establishing communication with live sources, but they can now be cut off or threatened.
And the third documents contain information about the weaknesses in the armaments of the Army of Ukraine - on air defense systems, the number and readiness of battalions for the critical phase of war. All this happens at the time of trusting relations on the exchange of US intelligence with Ukraine, the authors explained. CNN, CNN, close to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, told CNN changes in the command plans due to data leakage.
Pentagon made "interagency efforts" to evaluate all the consequences for national security, allies and partners of the United States, said the deputy Pentagon of Pentagon Sabrin Singh on April 9. American officials on the weekend communicated with allies about this leak and reported the relevant congress committees, Singh added. The Pentagon is forced to reduce the flow of super -secret documents and strengthen control behind them, officials were said in conversation with CNN.
The Joint Headquarters, which consists of the higher Pentagon leadership, which advises the President of the US, checks the lists of newsletters to determine the recipient of secret data, added a representative of the US Defense Ministry. Many documents contain marks that prove their preparation by the intelligence of the United Staff J2. These materials may be documents for briefings, the interlocutors told.
Diplomats of some countries have said CNN that public disclosure of this level is damaging US reputation. "We expect the United States to share with us an assessment of losses in the coming days. We carefully study these documents to find out whether any information is published from our collection," said an official from a country that is a member of the FIEY Intelligence Agreement (Five Eye Group, which includes the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom).
The second representative of the Fvey group is concerned about the leakage of military data in Ukraine, which can harm the Armed Forces on the battlefield. According to him, one of the February documents under the name "Russia-Ukraine: the battle for the Donbas is likely to go into hopeless in 2023. " The document specifies the difficulties with the assessment of the duration of operations of the Armed Forces.
"It will be difficult to achieve benefits for Ukraine, but a public publication of the US assessment, which indicates a likely deadlock, will not help," the interlocutor said. CNN journalists watched 53 documents that were accessible. One of them proves that the US is spying behind Zelensky. This is not surprising, but Ukrainian officials are deeply disappointed with leakage, said a source close to Zelensky.
"At the end of February, Zelensky proposed to strike in the places of deployment of Russian troops in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation with the use of drones, since Ukraine does not have a long -range weapon capable of achieving such a range," - said in a report of American intelligence.
In another, intelligence report states that China can use Ukrainian strikes in Russia as an opportunity to expose NATO aggressor and then increase Moscow's assistance if it considers attacks significant. According to analysts, the attackers already use published documents to spread misinformation. Recall that on April 9, Bellingcat investigators found out the approximate term of "drains" of the Pentagon documents. Some files began to appear in January 2023 on Discord servers for gamers.
