Russia says it already knew before the US leaks that NATO countries are "participating" in the war

MADRID, 12 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Kremlin spokesman, Dimitri Peskov, has assured this Wednesday that the Russian authorities already knew that countries of the Atlantic Alliance were "participating" in the war in Ukraine even before the leak of classified documents from the United States.

"Long before the appearance of these documents, we had and still have information that many instructors from NATO countries, including the United Kingdom, and fighters are participating in hostilities," Peskov told the media, according to TASS. .

However, the Kremlin spokesman has also wanted to be cautious and has stressed that, for the moment, there is no possibility of demonstrating the veracity of these US Pentagon documents leaked since February, but which have not gained notoriety until last week.

According to these files, the United States and NATO would have plans to prepare the Ukrainian Armed Forces for a counteroffensive to recover the territory taken by force by Russia in the framework of a war that has lasted for almost fourteen months. .
