A trove of leaked Pentagon documents reveals how deeply Russia’s security and intelligence services have been penetrated by the United States, demonstrating Washington’s ability to warn Ukraine about planned strikes and providing an assessment of the strength of Moscow’s war machine.
The documents paint a portrait of a depleted Russian military that is struggling in its war in Ukraine and of a military apparatus that is deeply compromised. They contain daily real-time warnings to U.S. intelligence agencies on the timing of Moscow’s strikes and even its specific targets. Such intelligence has allowed the United States to pass on to Ukraine crucial information on how to defend itself.

The intelligence reports show that the United States also appears to be spying on Ukraine’s top military and political leaders, a reflection of Washington’s struggle to get a clear view of Ukraine’s fighting strategies.
The material reinforces an idea that intelligence officials have long acknowledged: The United States has a clearer understanding of Russian military operations than it does of Ukrainian planning.

The documents show that nearly every Russian security service appears penetrated by the United States in some way. For example, one entry, marked top secret, discusses the Russian General Staff’s plans to counter the tanks NATO countries were providing to Ukraine, including creating different “fire zones” and beginning training of Russian soldiers on the vulnerabilities of different allied tanks.

And this was published...lots of operative gonna die over this BS.
I smell BS somewhere.
I just do.
I am starting to suspect the documents are real: the deep-state print media are coming out in unison with their approved narratives and are spinning like mad.
The United States has a clearer understanding of Russian military operations than it does of Ukrainian planningThat is exactly how this is should work. This is not the Gulf Wars. The US is supporting Ukraine, not leading the fight. The volume of support does not change who is has the primary military leadership.
I agree with you. I’m not 100% sure what or where, I’m just sure its there.
I said on this site over a year ago that Russia’s comms were certainly compromised.
It explains the course of the war to date.
I used to read intel reports all the time. Some were good. Some were awful. Most were adequate. It depended on the subject, time allowed to come up with an analysis, and the amount data use to compile a report or study. There was also a lot of stuff that really didn’t matter and resolved after a period of time, as more data was collected, or time saw change.
Yes thank you. It also depends on WHO is writing them and why.
Sometimes they're written to match funding requests, or to make some moron look good.
Some are *really* incompetently done and/or politically motivated, and cause huge problems and FUBARs.
Hmm. Sounds intentional leak-ish. No? To demoralize Russia. Keep UKR on its toes. See Aye Hay psyop maybe.
Did the report say the Russians are out of missiles once again? Lol
Is that the reason why Biden can be so careless with our secret documents?
The US is a combatant
If they are real.
So embarrassing “secret” documents of the US are leaked and published, but we’re supposed to conclude that it’s Russia’s intel services that are compromised. Yeah, sure. This spin-art by the NYT begs for a serious investigation of what really happened.
“The United States has a clearer understanding of Russian military operations than it does of Ukrainian planning.”
IOW, the Ukrainians know that if they tell the US anything, they might as well send a copy to Putin.
Leaked documents expose US-NATO Ukraine war plans

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.

Saw a video of a Ukrainian tanks firing point-blank at the Russians in a trench, then running over them to make sure they were dead.
BS Propaganda from the DS.
