Intelligence leak exposes U.S. spying on adversaries and allies, opening a rare window on the inner workings of American espionage
The documents, which appear to have come at least in part from the Pentagon and are marked as highly classified, offer tactical information about the war in Ukraine, including the country’s combat capabilities. According to one defense official, many of the documents seem to have been prepared over the winter for Gen. Mark A.
