What Countries Deliver Tanks to Ukraine?
In early April, over 100 classified US government documents were leaked on social media sites, apparently showing sensitive intelligence documents on the state of the Ukrainian military and the US and NATO's efforts to strengthen it. The Pentagon said it would probe into the leak. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, however, said on April 12 that Russia was aware that mercenaries and instructors from NATO states were present in Ukraine even before the classified documents hit the internet.
The White House declined to confirm the authenticity of the material published online and said it was not yet ready to voice a theory about how and why the leak was orchestrated. The Justice Department is currently conducting a criminal investigation into the case.
On Thursday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested 21-year-old Jack Douglas Teixeira, a member of the US Air Force National Guard, for his alleged involvement in leaking classified US government and military documents.
