Ukrainian and U.S. officials said this week that only Ukrainians know some battle plans and other operational information, not the Americans, their most important ally. That means the leak of secret military documents, including some assessing Ukraine's battlefield strengths and weaknesses against Russia, may not have been enough.
Ukraine's leaders say they don't see a major U.S. intelligence leak as gravely damaging future offensives. A key reason: They have long held back on sharing their most sensitive operational information, doubting Washington's ability to keep their secrets safe.
Meanwhile, Russia is making clear that it is avidly studying each spilled secret. "Quite interesting," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said of the leaks. But "I trust Joe Biden, I know that he is an experienced person who loves Ukraine. I am sure that everything will only get better," Maltseva said Wednesday.
The details disclosed "are not pleasant to hear," Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov told reporters in Madrid on Wednesday. The leaks include photographs of paper documents creased by folding. U.S. defence officials say information on some of the papers has been altered. "Our air defence will be very effective," Shmyhal told Canada's CTV. "We will have all the equipment."
