by time news

One of the documents seems to have been altered

A political maneuver? The apparent leak of classified American documents, in particular related to Ukraine and which seem authentic for the most part, poses a “very serious” risk to the national security of the United States, estimated Monday the Pentagon.

“Photos appear to show documents in a format similar to that used to provide daily updates to our senior Ukraine and Russia-related operations, as well as other intelligence updates,” he said. said a spokesman for the US Department of Defense, Chris Meagher, but some “appear to have been modified”. At least one of the documents seems to have been altered to suggest that Ukraine suffered greater losses than Russia, when the supposed original said the opposite.

The consequences of these leaks could be significant, even deadly for US intelligence sources.

Egypt accused of secretly supplying weapons to Russia

Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi reportedly planned in February to produce 40,000 rockets for Russia and ordered officials to keep the production and shipment of the rockets secret ‘to avoid problems with the West’, a document says American top secret revealed by the Washington Post. For the time being, a US government official speaking on condition of anonymity in the newspaper says he is not aware of this project.

However, if this information were confirmed, it could pose a serious geopolitical problem in the region. If Egypt is close to Moscow, the country benefits from the assistance of the United States and the West in matters of security and armament.
