The leaked confidential American documents about, among other things, the war in Ukraine arouse the interest of the Kremlin in Moscow. “The leaks are quite interesting, everyone is studying, analyzing and discussing them widely,” spokesman Dmitri Peskov said.

The leak, revealed last week by The New York Times, concerns US intelligence assessments and reports linked to the war in Ukraine, as well as to US allies.
On Friday, after the first leaked documents, Peskov had already said that they would show how deeply involved the US and NATO countries are in the war in Ukraine.
Zelensky spied on by US
Peskov also responded to reports that Zelensky had been spied on by the Americans. “That cannot be ruled out,” he said. Peskov said that there were already such scandals in the past. In 2013, then German Chancellor Angela Merkel was outraged because the US secret service had tapped her mobile phone.
Frustrated
According to the American channel CNN, the Ukrainian leadership is annoyed about the publication of the documents. The country has already changed some of its military plans, according to CNN, on the authority of Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky’s entourage. So one of those documents also shows that the US would have spied on Zelensky. That in itself is not a surprise, but the Ukrainians are frustrated by the leak.
