U.S. officials <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/u-s-pushes-to-assess-damage-from-leaked-classified-files-464e64a4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> The Wall Street Journal that the leak will likely impact America\u2019s national security worldwide, and the documents also include intelligence on \u201cinternal matters\u201d from U.S. allies such as Israel, the U.K., and South Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some of the documents appear altered to show the number of Ukrainian casualties much higher and Russian casualties much lower, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/04\/06\/us\/politics\/ukraine-war-plan-russia.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">according<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to The New York Times. They also include details about Ukrainian forces and their military equipment, and reveal some information that has never been available to the public, such as the Ukrainian military\u2019s burn rate of HIMARS munitions, which the U.S. has supplied to Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ukraine believes the leaked documents are full of fake information peddled out by Russia that \u201chave nothing to do with Ukraine\u2019s real plans,\u201d but a U.S. official <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/04\/07\/politics\/pentagon-leaked-ukraine-documents\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">told<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> CNN that the documents \u201clook real.\u201d Experts who have reviewed the documents also doubt the leak was part of a Russian disinformation campaign, the Journal reported.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities keep downplaying the veracity of the articles that were leaked. The leak is an&#8221; operation by Russia&#8217;s&#8217;s special services ,&#8221; according to Andriy Chernyak, a spokesman for Ukraine military intelligence, but Kyiv is taking additional security measures in response to the leak. As it apparently gets ready to launch an offensive against Russia in the coming weeks, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that his nation is strengthening its protection to prevent illicit statements of crucial defense information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Department of Justice launched an inquiry into the documents&#8217; leakage and possible alteration. It is still unknown who leaked the information and where they came from. The documents were first posted by a Discord class called Thug Shaker Central, according to Aric Toler, director of research and preparation at Bellingcat, an investigative news organization that specializes in open-source knowledge. Hundreds of documents were apparently posted on the Discord host, which draws Minecraft players, between January and March.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to The Journal, U.S. officials are investigating a variety of scenarios that could have led to the hole of classified documents. On Saturday, U.S. leaders claimed that top-secret security clearance holders in the government may have leaked the information or exposed British intelligence systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1680795232291000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2P5VXRE91chuqYyZnEBGLw\">GET THE DAILYWIRE + APP BY CLICKING HERE<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><em>This statement was contributed to by Tim Pearce.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A leak of classified documents online relating to U.S. and NATO plans for a Ukrainian offensive against Russia includes classified \u201cinternal matters\u201d of American allies and will likely impact U.S. national security, according to officials.
