Here are the top 14 top secret information leaked by the Pentagon, while the CIA spies on Zelensky

The highly classified Pentagon documents that have been leaked online in the past few weeks, but have only been confirmed and reported as authentic by the New York Times and others in the past few days, contain some embarrassing revelations. US Department of Justice and intelligence officials are frantically trying to uncover the source of the leak.

CNN confirmed on Monday, based on one of the documents that appeared online, that the United States spied on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky – a revelation that has left Kiev officials "deep frustration".

“Document reveals US spied on Zelensky,” reports CNN. “This is not surprising, said the source close to Zelensky, but Ukrainian officials are deeply frustrated with the leak.”

The US intelligence document suggests that US officials have been concerned about a possible decision by Zelensky to strike deep into Russian territory, which would escalate the war and potentially lead Russia and NATO into direct confrontations:

The US intelligence report says Zelensky in late February “suggested striking Russian positions in Rostov Oblast” using unmanned aerial vehicles, as Ukraine lacks long-range weapons capable of reaching that distance.

Another possibility is that the US intelligence community is monitoring the Ukrainian presidential office as part of efforts to oversee and account for how the tens of billions of aid sent to Kiev is being used.

The Washington Post specifies that “many of the documents appear to have been prepared during the winter for General Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other senior military officials, but were available to other US personnel and employees at contract with the necessary security clearances .” This would suggest a leak that comes from inside the Pentagon.

Here are 14 other major revelations contained in leaked intelligence documents, based on various media sources:

  • CIA recruiting locations focused on human agents who have access to the closed-door conversations of world leaders.
  • Russia's Wagner Group has been trying to get weapons from a NATO member – Turkey. Furthermore, some of Wagner's internal future plans are apparently known to US intelligence.
  • Details on the sensitive satellite technology used to track Russian forces, especially the “LAPIS” – described as an advanced satellite system, which has so far been a closely guarded secret
  • Battlefield assessments of Ukraine prepared by the Pentagon
  • The Guardian: “One slide suggested that a small contingent of less than a hundred special operations personnel from NATO members France, America, Britain and Latvia were already active in Ukraine.”
  • Descriptions of intelligence gathering activities by the CIA, NSA, Defense Intelligence Agency, law enforcement agencies, and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).
  • A Feb. 23 analysis of the battlefield situation in the Ukrainian Donbas predicting a "campaign of attrition" by Russia that "is likely heading towards a stalemate, thwarting Moscow's goal of conquering the entire region in the 2023”.
  • WaPo: "The US intelligence community has penetrated the Russian military and its commanders so deeply that it can warn Ukraine in advance of attacks and reliably assess the strengths and weaknesses of Russian forces."
  • WaPo: “A single page of the leaked dossier reveals that the US intelligence community knew that the Russian Defense Ministry had aired plans to strike Ukrainian troop positions in two locations on a certain date in February and that Russian military planners were preparing attacks on a dozen energy plants and an equal number of bridges in Ukraine”.
  • WaPo: A summary of the analysis by the CIA's World Intelligence Review, a daily publication for high-level politicians, says Beijing is likely to view Ukraine's attacks inside Russian territory as "an opportunity to push NATO as an aggressor” and that China could increase its support for Russia if it deems the attacks “significant”.
  • Ukraine's robust Soviet-era air defenses – which have so far kept Russian aircraft to a minimum – could run out of ammunition in the coming weeks.
  • An alleged CIA intelligence update claims that the Israeli Mossad has supported protests against Prime Minister Netanyahu's Supreme Court reform project.
  • Internal discussions show South Korean officials are wary of requests to deliver artillery shells to the United States to replenish American stockpiles, a report said, for fear they would end up in Ukraine.
  • Another report claims that Ukraine's air defense is in danger if it is not strengthened by Western allies.

The reports therefore contain a bit of everything, not only information related to Russia and Ukraine, but also to China and Israel. An even more dangerous escape because it is not clear whether these news items have been retouched before being made public, and therefore, since they are probable, they are even more dangerous. A disaster for US intelligence.
