What are the key findings from leaked classified US documents?
By Paul Adams, Jean Mackenzie and Antoinette RadfordDozens of classified US documents have been leaked and are now circulating on the internet.Complete with timelines and dozens of military acronyms, the documents, some marked "top secret", paint a detailed picture of the war in Ukraine and also offer information on China and allies.BBC News and other news organisations have reviewed some of the documents and these are some of the key findings.
According to the Washington Post newspaper, one document from early February expresses misgivings about Ukraine's chances of success in its forthcoming counteroffensive, saying that problems with generating and sustaining sufficient forces could result in "modest territorial gains".Ukraine's difficulties in maintaining its vital air defences are also analysed, with warnings from late February that Kyiv might run out of critical missiles.
The Post said President Abdul Fatah al-Sisi told officials to keep production and shipment secret "to avoid problems with the West". An unnamed official quoted on Egyptian news channels described the allegation in the document as "utterly baseless" and said Cairo did not take sides in the war.South Korea torn on delivering weapons to Ukraine
