Pentagon investigating how Ukraine war document marked top-secret appeared online

A document marked "top secret" that depicts the daily disposition of forces in Ukraine was leaked and has shown up on social media, a U.S. official confirmed.

This official said that someone apparently took a picture of the document and posted it on Telegram, a social media platform that has over 500 million users, and from there, it was picked up on Twitter. Pentagon officials are working to remove the classified information from social media.

A second official said the Pentagon is trying to determine how the material leaked and how serious the leak is.

And then, on Friday, classified government documents covering not only Ukraine, but other parts of the world started showing up on social media, suggesting that there has been a major compromise of Pentagon secrets.

A total of five slides — photographs of documents that had been folded and unfolded — were posted on a pro-Russian Telegram channel Thursday, and they appear authentic, although U.S. officials warned that some of them appeared to have been altered.

For instance, one of the slides says there have been 16,000-17,500 Russians killed in action, but U.S. defense officials have publicly said that Russia has suffered over 200,000 casualties. The documents that were posted are also more than a month old.

The Telegram account said that the posted documents described "a secret plan to prepare and equip nine brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the US and NATO for the spring offensive."

The leak is obviously from someone pro-Russian given it was leaked on Telegram, a Russian social media site, and altered the number of Russian deaths to be much lower.

Does this mean there's a Russian mole in the Pentagon?

Russian and Chinese spies are everywhere and I'm sure NATO is no different in that regard. It's just the way it is.

@EoT - It could be intelligence from another country and they chose "Telegram" to not disclose their true identity.

@EoT - Those numbers are never reliable, I don't care whose data you use. propaganda. All of them.

EoT - I'm sure there is one, but this evidence here is weak. My opinion

@vivify
No, it means government lies to us. Not that government lying is new.

Most of the world disapproves of the invasion. So that leaves a very limited amount of possible nations who would something that could benefit Russia like this.

I doubt Belarus has the connections to pull this off which really only leaves China. But they're far too crafty to reveal their cards like that.

At least for now, the most likely culprit is a pro-Russian mole. Odds are a right-wing U.S. citizen with connections to the Pentagon.

The USA tried to invade Cuba and most of the world disapproved. Does that mean my government has no right to impose the economic embargo? I think so, but empires do what they want. Who is going to stop them?

No you Russian halfwit it means they had no right to even try and invade Cuba.

That didn't stop them, nor does it stop Russia. Besides, the USA started the Ukraine war when they overthrew the Ukraine government by coup and let the Nazis burn ethnic Russians alive in a horrible genocide.
