"Poll" on the Counter-offensive of the Armed Forces: Documents in January got on Discord Gamers Servers-Bellingcat-Bellingcat

The documents, according to the team, began to appear on the network in January this year on some Discord servers (Discord is a messenger, and "server" in it is a function for communicating with several users in separate channels-ed. ). "Discord channels on which the documents were placed were created for Minecraft's computer game. Then they spread to other sites, such as 4chan imagebord before appeared in Telegram, Twitter and other big media," the report said in the report .

None of the documents was scanned, as experts noted, they were photographed in the same place. Some contain hot spots in Ukraine - Bakhmut and Kharkiv, the schedule of delivering Western ammunition to Ukraine, maps and catalogs of Ukrainian air defense systems, including a calendar of ammunition costs. On April 5, documents began to spread pro-Russian Telegram channels, and their first version was discovered in the Telegram channel Donbass Devushka at 21:29 in Ukrainian time.

A few hours before, the document was published in one of the 4chan forums. And on March 4, 10 documents were published on Minecrath Map Discord Server. It should be noted that Minecraft is a popular computer game that is played by millions. Users argued about Minecraft cards and war in Ukraine, one during the discussion said: "Here are some merged documents" and sent 10 files about Ukraine, some of which had a stamp "quite secretly".

This message had 7 documents that began to be distributed in Telegram and Twitter. The one who published these documents said that he found them on the Wowmao discord server, which was managed by the fans of the YouTube channel of the same name, Bellingcat noted. And on March 1 and 2 at Wowmao, more than 30 secret documents were published before the Minecraft was released. The Wowmao server may not be the source of these documents, the investigators have added.

Bellingcat talked to Discord Community members who stated that some photos of documents were placed earlier on another Thug Shaker Central server. The name of the server has been repeatedly changed. According to the "Vakhi" user and the other two who talk to Bellingcat, the files on Wowmao are just the tip of the iceberg compared to the number of documents on Thug Shaker Central.

"This server was not geopolitical, its users have followed a conservative position on a number of issues," Belingcat reported server. OSINT Molfar OSINT Agency Researchers believe that NATO's Military Military Documents About Plans of the Armed Forces are allegedly fused. Experts drew attention to the editing of photographs of documents by the special services of the Russian Federation.

Information on the loss of military equipment and personnel seems to be provided by the Pentagon, in fact close to OSINT OSINT statistics on Oryx on March 1, 2023. Suspicious for Molfar was the numbering of the "merged document" pages. It should have at least 24 pages. If the attackers have indeed abducted secret data, they should publish all the pages, but showed only some fragments.

Photo numbering is also false - the page markings are placed on top of the printed text and the punctuation of the document, the researchers drew attention. After publishing the first publications, edited data appeared on the network, where the indicators of Russian losses were reduced, and the Ukrainian on the contrary was overestimated. The agency notes that the document refers to Ukraine's receiving US Abrams tanks. Officially, their transfer is scheduled for the end of this year.

Other inaccuracies include improper decline. The document lists the date of March 1, abbreviated as 1 Mar, and the American English version writes Mar 1. There are also grammatical errors in writing the names of the units (Vagner instead of a normal Wagner) and the designation in inches. NATO standards should be metric units. "The US Army uses metric units to interact with the Union forces. This is stated in the NATO agreement on standardization (Stanag), and on the card indicates 16 inches.

This is a direct proof of forgery, if not all documents, then at least them," - summed up Specialists. We will remind, on April 7 the network appeared on the network "US Military Documents" on NATO plans to strengthen the military support of the Army of Ukraine before the future counter -offensive. Washington stated that Russia stands on the leakage of "secret documents". The President's office said that if Moscow really received real military scenarios, they would not be shown.
