On Tuesday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin acknowledged that authorities were unaware of who had access to the records that were posted online in February and March.
Over the past few months, dozens of classified documents about the conflict in Ukraine have surfaced on Discord and Telegram. These documents cover a wide range of subjects, including plans to rebuild the Ukrainian military and identified gaps in its defenses. Despite prior assertions that NATO states had forces on the ground in the crisis zone, one of the documents claimed that NATO countries had a small number of special operations troops in Ukraine.
The records are dated February 28, March 1, according to what we know. During a press conference, Austin stated, "I don't know if there are other documents that have previously been posted. These are things that we will learn as we carry out our investigation. but the February 28 and March 1 documents, on which we have so far concentrated. Again, we'll keep looking into this to see what the entire extent of the behavior is.
Some of them were available online, according to Austin. "We don't know where exactly or who had access at that time. Right now, we simply don't know.
On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and launched a huge assault there. The United States has provided Ukraine with almost $100 billion in aid, and after announcing in December that a battery of MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missiles would be delivered to that nation, they stated in January that they would send 31 M1 Abrams main combat tanks.
