Top Secret War Plans Leaked as Russia Regains Control of Bakhmut Center; U.S. Investigates Compromise of Intelligence

Russia likely altered classified U.S. military documents about the war in Ukraine before leaking them online.
Dozens of classified intelligence documents were leaked online, exposing details about how the United States spies on adversaries and allies and providing secrets about the brutal urban battle over the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut.
The Pentagon is investigating how Russia or Russian-aligned groups acquired and distributed classified U.S. and NATO war plans for Ukraine's forces to prepare for an anticipated spring offensive against Moscow.
The leaks come as Russia's forces, with the Wagner Group paramilitary organization taking a lead role, have slowly progressed deeper into the center of Bakhmut after months of stalemate.
The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the leak, and the Pentagon has restricted the flow of intelligence on Ukraine in response to the revelations.
