Lives of British citizens in danger due to leaked Pentagon documents - Times

The lives of British citizens have been put at risk by the leak of US intelligence data.

Source. This was reported by the Times newspaper with reference to the chairman of the House of Commons Defense Committee, BBC reports.

Earlier, the media reported on the leak of a document dated March 23, which claimed that up to 50 British special forces officers were sent to Ukraine along with other Western special forces.

The document does not specify where these forces are located or what they are doing.

"Much of the content of these reports is untrue, manipulated, or both," said a British Ministry of Defense spokesperson. – "We strongly advise that no one should take these claims at face value.

While the Pentagon is trying to find out the source of the massive leak, British officials, military and intelligence officials do not rule out the possibility of new documents.

"The Pentagon itself doesn't know what else might come out," a security source told the Times. – "It's really worrisome, and there may be more revelations before they can close the book on this.

Dan Jarvis, a former special forces commander and now a member of the British Parliament from the Labor Party, told the newspaper that such operations involving British special forces are usually shrouded in secrecy.

"Any compromise of classified material relating to their deployment or numbers is not only politically inconvenient, but also militarily disadvantageous. It risks jeopardizing the security and effectiveness of these operations and may put lives at risk," he said.

Background. As reported, the leaked documents contained classified FSB data: the number of Russian casualties in them is more than 110,000, and this is only the regular army.
