this is our inspiring story about survival of the home. i don't get the tennis. i was the only 119, and look. music in nazi germany. watch now on youtube. d. w documentary. ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. how much does washington really know about military tactics in russia's war against? ukraine leaked documents, reportedly from the pentagon, suggesting us is spying on both russia and ukraine's military and gathering intelligence on nato. allies. will bring you the lowdown from an analyst also on

the show. ah no frances lease easter sunday mass in the body. tens of thousands of catholics gather to hear his traditional blessing and an appeal for peace and dialogue and conflicts raging around the world. and in the buddhist lee stood guards 1st away. when since 2021 sees them drag fellow strugglers bolcom into the relegation. meyer will bring you all the action in a 5 goal thriller ah unexpired. welcome to the program. the u. s. justice department has launched an investigation into the league of what appeared to be classified intelligence reports. the documents relate to russia's war in ukraine and have been uploaded to social media sites. the reports purportedly from the pentagon suggest the u. s. has

been spying both on russia and ukraine, military and gathering intelligence on its nato allies. us officials say russia or pro russian supporters are likely behind the leak. frank lead, which is a former british military intelligence officer. i asked him how we know these documents are really authentic, given all this information in conflict. well, good evening. we don't know that there. authentic is the answer, but there are some reason. the big difference is the 1st of what you've already mentioned in the pentagon requested the justice department on a date will have ordered its own inquiry. they've asked the justice department behind that is to look into the counter intelligence aspect of it. so what the american certainly want is to believe probably correctly, that these are authentic. now, also it's worth saying that from what i've seen of these documents, i haven't seen them all. they do look the kind of thing that would comprise a daily situation report or a daily update,

as i think now. cool. so on the face of it, they look pretty general, but of course they've been altered on the alterations of the interesting thing actually. and assuming they're, they're real or partly real, how damaging is it and to whom? to have anyone with internet access essentially read what could be u. s. intelligence on russia and ukraine and allies i'll give you a few terms. not obviously that all the information that's been revealed is open source. you and i can find it out on specialist for books and websites from experts, things like the shell expenditure rates or certain types of weapon system ranges and what have you, what we couldn't find out though the things that are rather more disturbing to russia, that for example, 12, you creating brigades are being trained 9 of them in the west. and the interesting

thing here is that this is cause or other more consternation in russia than it has in the west. russian commentators are saying that we really have a problem here. the ukrainians have that kind of scales of readiness for people and equipment. this is dangerous to have been alterations made which it would indicate some form of this information effort, particularly to russian casualties. but they're so transparently false that no were taken seriously. and what kind of possible consequences could there be on the expected ukrainian spring offensive and possibly in the respective intelligence services and counter intelligence services in russia for instance. well, the 1st thing is that these revelations, if that's what they are, don't indicate any intentions or plans. what they indicate is really the level of support being offered by the americans, a bit more detail than weapon systems and so forth. the important thing is that

there's no intelligence revealed on times, dates, places of any planned contra talk. the damage is significant and it's not so much intelligence given it's the damage to us ukrainian trust and us, it's on the, the, the west more widely has suffered over the last few months. and they did the last year, quite understandably, from ukraine and say, look, we're prepared to give you information about what we needed to be secure, what we can't have a leaks like this. and that's the problem. that's the real damage done by these documents. it's the damage to trust between the western, specifically the u. s. and ukraine. can you credit trust the us with confidential information? even information in this case isn't necessarily strategically operationally damaging. ok, well, thank you for that insight on this developing story. frank led, which a former british military intelligence officer. thank you. nick. chinese fighter jets and warships have simulated precision strikes on taiwan. china has
