WASHINGTON, D.
C.: The online leaks of scores of highly classified documents about the Ukraine war present a 'very serious' risk to national security, and senior leaders are quickly taking steps to mitigate the damage, a top Pentagon spokesman said Monday. And as the public airing of the data sends shockwaves across the US government, the White House said there are concerns there could be additional leaks.
Under a section titled 'Total Assessed Losses,' one document lists 16,000-17,500 Russian casualties and up to 71,000 Ukrainian casualties. Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said publicly last November that Russia has lost 'well over' 100,000 soldiers, and Ukraine had lost about that many also. And those estimates have continued to climb in recent months, although officials have stopped providing more exact numbers.
