Leaked intel doc reveals US special forces in Ukraine; White House confirms

KARAH RUCKER: LEAKED DOCUMENTS FROM THE PENTAGON HAVE BEEN A BIG STORY THIS WEEK AND CONTINUES TO PROVIDE BOMBSHELLS FROM INSIDE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

SOME OF THE CLASSIFIED MATERIAL DROPPED ONLINE HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE FAULTY – BUT OTHER INTEL – OFFICIALS ARE CONFIRMING TO BE TRUE. INCLUDING A REPORT THAT U.S. FORCES ARE PRESENT IN UKRAINE DESPITE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT PREVIOUSLY SAYING NO U.S. TROOPS WERE IN THE COUNTRY – HOME TO THE ONGOING WAR WITH RUSSIA.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CONFIRMED THIS WEEK THAT U.S. SPECIAL FORCES ARE INDEED IN COUNTRY, BUT ADDED THAT THOSE SPECIAL FORCES ARE AT THE U.S. EMBASSY.

IT’S NOT ONLY THE U.S. WITH SPECIAL FORCES ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE – THE U-K ALSO HAS MEMBERS IN THE COUNTRY ACCORDING TO THE LEAKED DOCUMENTS – SOMETHING THE U-K HAS ALSO PREVIOUSLY DENIED.

THE U-K MINISTRY OF DEFENSE HAS NOT COMMENTED ON THE NEW REPORT – BUT HAS PREVIOUSLY SAID THE LEAKED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION HAS A QUOTE “SERIOUS LEVEL OF INACCURACY.”

WHITE HOUSE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL SPOKESMAN JOHN KIRBY SAYS THERE’S  A “SMALL NUMBER” OF U.S. TROOPS IN THE COUNTRY.

AND CONFIRMED THE TROOPS ARE NOT FIGHTING ON THE BATTLEFIELD. BUT STATIONED AT THE EMBASSY.

IT’S THE LATEST BIG HEADLINE TO COME FROM THE CLASSIFIED LEAKED MATERIAL ONLINE — THE BIGGEST GOVERNMENT LEAK IN YEARS – WHICH HAS CREATED A FRENZY FROM WITHIN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT AND PUT ITS ALLIES ON NOTICE.

KIRBY SAYS THE PRESIDENT STANDS BY HIS MANDATE THAT THERE WILL BE NO AMERICAN TROOPS FIGHTING IN THE WAR IN UKRAINE.
