Huge deep state humiliation:
by Russian state media group TASS, that the documents could be forgeries intended to lull Russian forces into a sense of false security. He said: “I think this is a classical disinformation operation, being conducted to mislead us, to make us think [the Ukrainian counter-offensive] is not ready yet and we can relax… Part of what is said there may be true, but as far as the timing is concerned, it’s definitely not so.
The idea of a Ukrainian spring counteroffensive after a winter of static, almost trench-warfare-like combat has been widely discussed in Western government and media circles, but the exact timing and form of this remain unclear. To Rogov, these leaked documents are intended to keep the Russians guessing. He continued: “In my opinion, it is an attempt to make us think that an offensive may be possible only after some time, and not within the next few days.
It also spoke to questions over the authenticity of what had been released, however, noting how some pages of what appeared to be an authentic document had been modified to rebalance casualty estimates in Russia’s favour. The Pentagon has launched an investigation with the Justice Department. Pentagon spokesman Sabrina Singh said: “We are aware of the reports of social media posts, and the department is reviewing the matter”. A Justice Department spokesman said: “We have been in communication with the Department of Defense related to this matter and have begun an investigation. We decline further comment.”
