Leaked US documents might be ‘fake’, says Russia
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov says leaked US intelligence documents might be fake and a deliberate attempt to mislead Moscow.
Ryabkov told Russian news agencies that, for now, the leak threw up many questions.
“It’s probably interesting for someone to look at these documents, if they are documents at all, or maybe they are fake, maybe this is a deliberate information dump,” Ryabkov was cited as saying.
“Since the United States is a party to the (Ukraine) conflict and is in essence waging a hybrid war against us, it’s possible such things are being done to mislead the enemy – that is the Russian Federation,” he said.
The Kremlin said earlier on Wednesday that it did not know “like everyone else” how authentic the documents were.
Some national security experts and US officials say they suspect the culprit could be American but do not rule out pro-Russian actors.
