suggest the u. s. has been spying on both russia and ukraine, military and gathering intelligence on its nato allies. us officials say russia or poor russian supporters are likely behind the leak to resolve for is the founder and executive director of the national security institute and a former white house. so see it to george w bush. i asked him how damaging these leaks are. well, obviously we don't know the details of all the documents have been leaked thus far . but what we've seen to date is, is fairly damaging. we see a lot of details about what the u. s. is doing to collect intelligence, the kind of reporting that we had, and in particular of the results of that reporting, demonstrating views on the ukraine war views on the russians capabilities as well as views on the ukrainian military. and do we have an idea about how authentic these documents are, even as you point out there, so damaging can be verified the authenticity of them?

well, we know at least some of the documents that have been posted on the social media site. discord have been modified, we know that some of them have been modified to reduce the number of russian casualties in one case, on another case to increase the number of russian troops involved. and so now we're not sure of the, the authenticity of all documents or whether the been modified. but it does appear that u. s. intelligence sources of told news media now that at least some significant portion of the documents are in fact genuine. a materials produced in particular by the joint chiefs of staff, which is the military action arm of the pentagon. could this leak have an effect on the water in ukraine? then we'll, at least at some of that could demonstrate what the u. s. understands it's co pay its capabilities to supply the ukrainians or with milt, with munitions are in particular we've seen that historically. the pentagon has revealed how many pieces of, for example, 155 millimeter howitzer, ammunition is being distributed. so now that the russians know are what the quantities are that are coming in,

and how much has been utilized. it may give them some valuable battlefield intelligence. but information warfare ends up being a part of all kinds of ward though, and be a theme this historically play out as well as this one stand out to you. is it more significant? anywhere was it was significant about this one is the, is the quantity and nature of the documents that are being revealed. these are documents about an ongoing military operation today, fairly recent materials, the data back only a few months back into the later part of last year. and so i think it's the recency and context that makes the this leak a particular concerning. obviously they're a bit larger, more damaging, least edwards no, leaks, for example, a cause a lot more damage to use intelligence collection because of the very wide variety of capabilities that revealed. but this can be a very damaging league, or at least in the near term, who be watching that for loud, closely. thank you for that thomas offer from the national security institute. next to me. sure. not chinese fighter jets and warships have simulated precision strikes
