The Washington Post (is that CIA?) ^ | April 13th, 2023 | By Karen DeYoung and Missy Ryan

China approved “provision of lethal aid” to Russia in its war in Ukraine earlier this year and planned to disguise military equipment as civilian items, according to a U.S. intercept of Russian intelligence revealed in leaked secret documents.

The intercept, apparently obtained through U.S. eavesdropping on Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), was included in a top-secret summary, dated Feb. 23, of recent Ukraine- and Russia-related “products” compiled by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. It was among a number of previously unreported documents that The Washington Post obtained from a trove of images of classified files posted on a private server on the chat app Discord.

According to “signals intelligence,” the intelligence summary said, the SVR reported that China’s Central Military Commission had “approved the incremental provision” of weapons and wanted it kept secret. The report did not indicate the source of the SVR’s information.

why is the question.
who would benefit?
does this leak helpor hurt the biden agenda?
does it hurt or help neocon foreign interventionists?
does it hurt Trump and conservatives?
does it hurt the nation... ? Yes, yes it does...

and if it hurts our nation, I am thinking it is another type of J6 event staged to hurt our nation and further divide and conquer...

No one can be trusted. speculation on my part does not help either.

This is probably damage control to keep anyone from looking at what was leaked.

Then you have no idea how the US military works.”

I held TS/SCI/LIMDIS/SPECAT.

NOBODY in an operational military field command would have access to NSA intercepts of political leadership of any nation.

I second your response. Do remember we deal with a lot of keyboard commandos here on FR, believing from emotion what they wish, not the way it is. I am willing to bet 99.9 percent do not even know what your letter salad clearances mean.
