Ukraine was forced to change some military plans following the leak of US classified documents that exposed some of the strategies laid down by the Ukranian military, American broadcaster CNN reported on Monda, citing sources.

Last week, confidential documents were leaked online on platforms such as Discord, Telegram, and Twitter, with US national security secrets concerning China, Ukraine, and the Middle East - including sensitive intelligence reports, Ukraine war plans, and information on allies that the US obtained through spying on them.

According to New York Times, the breached documents detailed US and NATO plans for Ukraine's spring offensive against Russia. They also contained detailed information regarding weaponry, battalion strengths, and other sensitive data.

The Ukrainian army has already altered some field plans, a source close to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy told the news channel without expanding on the details.

The Pentagon said on Sunday the US is examining the implications of an apparent leak of a number of highly classified information on national security.

While senior US officials claimed that the documents were tampered with before being published, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said the documents "appear to contain sensitive and highly classified material."

"An interagency effort has been stood up, focused on assessing the impact these photographed documents could have on US national security and on our allies and partners," Singh added.
