Washington (Kaab TV) – Little new information has emerged about a major leak of dozens of classified military and intelligence documents.
But senior Biden administration officials yesterday sought to calm anger in foreign capitals over the documents, noting that they had spoken to their Ukrainian counterparts as well as other unidentified American allies.
Lloyd Austin, the U.S defense secretary, acknowledged the many unknowns about the documents.
”They were somewhere in the web,” he said. “And where exactly and who had access at that point, we don’t know. We simply don’t know at this point.”
A niche online community has became a focus of international attention in the leak.
Some foreign governments were roiling over the breach, prompting criticism of the U.S. for conducting surveillance of its allies and claims that the documents could not be trusted.
South Korea’s government said a report that purports to describe Seoul’s internal deliberations over whether to supply artillery shells that might end up in Ukraine was false.
