One of the US documents that ended up online notes that the UK is the country with the largest number of special forces operating in Ukraine in support of Kiev.
According to the document, dated March 23, London has the largest contingent (50 units), followed by Latvia (17), France (15), the United States (14) and the Netherlands (1) . The document doesn't say where the drives are or what they're doing.
The British Special Forces are made up of several elite military units with distinct areas of expertise and are considered to be among the most capable in the world.
Also from the same documents emerges a heavy accusation against Egypt. Last February, President Al Sisi ordered the production and delivery of 40,000 rockets for Russia in great secrecy "to avoid problems with the West" .
A potentially explosive card concerning one of Washington's closest allies in the Middle East, a beneficiary of huge American economic and military aid . Egypt and the US have tried to throw water on the fire.
The Egyptian foreign minister reiterated that Cairo's position "since the beginning has been based on non-involvement in the crisis in Ukraine and on the commitment to maintain a fair distance on both sides" .
“We have had no indication that Egypt has supplied missiles to Russia. Cairo is and remains an important security partner in the region. We are grateful for the role it plays in the Middle East,” US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby cut short, while the Kremlin called the news false.
Meanwhile, the hunt for the mole that released the top secret documents that are seriously embarrassing the Pentagon and the Biden administration continues . In fact, the information that arrives day after day in the media, despite being reduced in quantity compared to that disclosed by WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden, on the other hand is more punctual and disseminated through unprecedented methods, from Cold War-style photographic shots to the use of minor social platforms like Discord. And they have significant diplomatic consequences, both on the side of international relations (see the revelations about friends and enemies constantly spied on by Washington) and on the battlefield in Ukraine.
The international damages concern relations with various countries, but the biggest damage concerns Ukraine. Two revelations in this case: the Ukrainian leaders intercepted by Washington and the shortage of ammunition for Kiev's artillery and anti-aircraft, with the related doubts about the imminent and repeatedly announced Ukrainian counter-offensive .
