The newspaper said the documents were posted on Twitter and Telegram and allegedly contained charts and details of arms shipments, battalion strength and other sensitive information. The information in the documents is at least five weeks old, with the most recent being March 1, the report said.

Information in the documents also details spending rates on munitions under Ukraine’s military control, including for HIMARS missile systems, the US-made artillery missile systems that have proven highly effective against Russian forces.
