Washington did not warn Kyiv about the top-secret documents leaked to internet chat rooms — containing sensitive information about Ukraine’s war effort — before the news broke in the media last month, President Volodymyr Zelensky told the Washington Post.<\/p>\n
The embarrassing security breach revealed US unease about a coming counteroffensive by Kyiv’s forces against Russian troops as well as concerns about Ukrainian air defenses.<\/p>\n
“I did not receive information from the White House or the Pentagon beforehand,” Zelensky told the newspaper in an interview in Kyiv Monday.<\/p>\n
“We did not have that information. I personally did not. It’s definitely a bad story,” he said, calling the situation “unprofitable.”<\/p>\n
Speaking on CNN, Pentagon Press Secretary Pat Ryder would not confirm or deny Zelensky’s claim, saying only that Washington remains “committed to working very closely with Ukraine and our international allies to ensure that they have the security assistance they need to be able to defend their country.“\u09ac\u09bf\u09b8\u09cd\u09a4\u09be\u09b0\u09bf\u09a4<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Washington did not warn Kyiv about the top-secret documents leaked to internet chat rooms — containing sensitive information about Ukraine’s war effort — before the news broke in the media last month, President Volodymyr Zelensky told the Washington Post.
