Classified Pentagon documents containing information about US and NATO plans for a Ukrainian offensive and key details of the ongoing war have leaked. And the Biden administration is reportedly demanding they be scrubbed from the internet. Is there a hidden agenda behind the leak?
The New York Times has reported “a significant breach of American intelligence in the effort to aid Ukraine” through the leak of classified documents which have been shared on social media. It correspondents cited “senior Biden administration officials” who apparently tipped the outlet off to the story. Documents circulating on Telegram which closely resemble those referred to by the Times are reproduced at the end of this article.
The Times writes, “Military analysts said the documents appear to have been modified in certain parts from their original format, overstating American estimates of Ukrainian war dead and understating estimates of Russian troops killed. The modifications could point to an effort of disinformation by Moscow, the analysts said… The analysts warned that documents released by Russian sources could be selectively altered to present the Kremlin’s disinformation.”
Neither the New York Times nor the “military analysts” it cited explain how the documents were altered, or why they have the appearance of tampering. However, because the leaked documents have arrived in the form of photographs of printed documents, rather than original files, the possibility of forgery or alteration must be considered.
The leaked documents claim that Russia has sustained troop losses ranging from 16,000 to 17,500 while Ukrainian losses amount to as many as 71,500 – a staggering differential that stands at odds with the triumphalist narrative projected by Kiev. They are dated March 1 2023 and appear to be part of an ongoing briefing effort to analyze the war’s progress and plan a Ukrainian counteroffensive.

We dont have the means to know.
But Russia does.
The info looks legit. Photographed copies. And there’s a lot of it. CIA freaking out, too.
Said the China Man
I'm sure it's all just as Russian as Hunter's laptop.
The great irony is that the Zeepers always present Ukraine as an innocent, free and independent country, unexpectedly invaded by its big, bad neighbor
Once again - we see that Ukraine is a completely controlled (and corrupt) colony of the NATO and the West. They have ZERO freedom or agency. They are NATO’s low IQ grunts, who aren’t even allowed to discuss peace.
LOL. Because the Russians don't work Friday to Sunday, and internet access is spotty at their country dachas, so there's a good chance no one there has seen them yet.
The largest purveyors of disinformation are the agents of the Anglo empire global deep state.
The usual “We had nothing to do with this and don’t know anything about it. Really!”
Wasn't it NYT that published the Pentagon Papers? They didn't seem worried that doing so would damage the nation then, just Nixon...
“And the Biden administration is reportedly demanding they be scrubbed from the internet.”
Domestic political damage.
Many lies exposed.
Each document has the same folding creases, indicating someone took the documents together, and folded them to conceal them in a coat or pants pocket
16,000 to 71,500 differential? Depending on the source it’s either 250,000 to 50,000, or vice versa.
Well if the NYT ended up with it, it typically is deliberate to form a narrative to push an outcome.
Creating a reason for censorship? (leak of classified documents which have been shared on social media)
They must of hid the documents in Joe’s garage?
Good question. "A Man Called Intrepid"...
Dems can never be trusted with national security ...
Thanks!
Duh! What common language is this data, documented?
Again, thanks for posting this.
