| A trove of secret Pentagon documents has appeared on social media in recent days and shows just how deeply the U.S. has penetrated Russia’s military and intelligence services. They also reveal that the U.S. appears to be spying on some of its closest allies, including Ukraine, Israel and South Korea. | A trove of secret Pentagon documents has appeared on social media in recent days and shows just how deeply the U.S. has penetrated Russia’s military and intelligence services.

| The intelligence portrays a battered Russian military that is struggling in its war in Ukraine and a military apparatus that is deeply compromised. The leaked material, from late February and early March, also shows daily real-time warnings to U.S. intelligence agencies on the timing of Moscow’s strikes — and even specific targets.

Here’s what we know. |

| The leak has also complicated relations with allied countries and raised doubts about the U.S.’s ability to keep secrets. Publicizing eavesdropping on allies always hampers relations with key partners — like South Korea, whose help is needed to supply Ukraine with weaponry — and could curb intelligence sharing. | The leak has also complicated relations with allied countries and raised doubts about the U.S.’s ability to keep secrets.

| Context: The material reinforces what intelligence officials have long acknowledged: The U.S. has a better understanding of Russian operations than it does of Ukrainian planning. | |
