The US government is investigating the leak on social media of a series of classified war documents detailing US and NATO plans to bolster Ukraine's offensive in the war against Russia. The Pentagon is "analyzing" the publication of these documents on the social networking platforms Twitter and Telegram, The New York Times reported Thursday.
US Executive officials assured the outlet that they are working to remove the content from the platforms but have not yet succeeded. The leaked documents, according to the American newspaper, contain tables of future arms deliveries, data on troop and battalion strengths, as well as military plans.
One of the documents posted online includes a table listing details of Ukrainian troop units, as well as their equipment and training, with schedules from January to April. It provides information on 12 combat brigades being assembled, nine of which, the report says, are allegedly being trained and supplied by the US and NATO allies.
Washington on Tuesday announced a new $2.6 billion aid package for Ukraine that includes additional ammunition for the Patriot air defense system and NASAMS. The amount includes ten laser-guided rocket systems, three video surveillance radars, rocket launchers, Javelin anti-tank missile systems and four logistics support vehicles.
The President of Ukraine, Volodímir Zelenski, celebrated the shipment of aid yesterday, assuring that it is just what his country needs. Ukrainian military experts have underlined the importance of Ukraine receiving in time the amount of ammunition it requires to be able to successfully face the planned spring counteroffensive.
