The Pentagon is investigating a leak on social media of classified material about the state of the Ukrainian military and plans by Washington and NATO to strengthen it

Havana, April 7 (RHC) The US Department of Defense is investigating a leak on social media of classified material describing the state of the Ukrainian military and plans by Washington and NATO to strengthen it.

The documents in question, which date from the beginning of March, consist of photographs, graphs of anticipated arms deliveries, troop and battalion strength numbers, among other plans, and were reportedly distributed through pro-government Russian channels on Twitter and Telegram, according to sources.

Officials in Washington are working to remove these documents from social media as they represent a significant breach of American intelligence. "We are aware of the social media posts and our department is looking into the matter," said Sabrina Singh, the Pentagon's deputy press secretary.

The documents also mention data never before disclosed by the Pentagon, such as the rate of expenditure of US-supplied HIMARS munitions to Ukraine, which have been used to attack civilian infrastructure.

Another document contains brief information about 12 Ukrainian brigades that are in the process of being formed, nine of which are reportedly being trained and supplied by the US and other NATO allies.

The secret material allegedly states that six of these nine brigades were expected to be ready by March 31 and the rest by April 30. The document also cites the need for more than 250 tanks and 350 BMPs for these formations.

Similarly, one of those documents, labeled 'top secret', describes the "State of the conflict as of March 1". That day, Ukrainian officers were in Germany, at the US base in Wiesbaden. (Source: RT)
