The New York Times also detailed that one of the documents summarized the training schedules of 12 Ukraine combat brigades, nine of them were being trained by U.S. and NATO forces, and needed 250 tanks and more than 350 mechanized vehicles.

At least one of the documents was labelled "top secret."

Pro-Russian government channels also shared the documents.

Social media users posted photos of the alleged classified U.S. and NATO document and wondered how such secret information can be leaked easily mentioning that the U.S. security system is one of the tops in the world.
