The DeptofDefense is looking into how top-secret documents with details regarding the war in Ukraine were published on at least two social media sites, Twitter and Telegram.
The released documents, some of which appear to be modified or altered, include maps of Ukraine and charts of where troops are concentrated and what weapons are available to them, which was reported by the New York Times. The photos posted on social media were pictures taken of the creased maps.Russia or a pro-Russian entity is likely behind the leak, three U.S. officials told Reuters, though they were clear that their opinion was informal and not the results of the investigation.
The revealed documents do not, however, contain specific information regarding Ukraine's spring offensive, which officials said will likely begin in the coming weeks, though the information released offers many insights. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told lawmakers in late March that the United States assesses that"the Russians have well over 200,000 casualties," while the decreased Russian casualty count could indicate the person responsible was pushing pro-Russian disinformation.
