/ world today news/ “If you have friends like the USA, why are they your enemies?” asked rhetorically some time ago the former president of the European Council, Donald Tusk, and this is clearly seen from the latest incident with the leak of secret documents of the US military and intelligence on the Internet , related to Ukraine.
The content of these documents is scandalous, as it shows the deep involvement of the US government in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and continuous wiretapping of senior politicians in Ukraine, South Korea, Israel and other countries that are part of the US allies. Now a month after the documents leaked online, it threatens to become a scandal similar to the WikiLeaks of 2013.
The US has been spying on its allies and partners for decades. For example, the current documents contain many details about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including plans for the Ukrainian military’s spring offensive, Western assistance in deploying its forces, arms supplies and operational capabilities. At the same time, the documents show that the US carried out large-scale surveillance of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. CNN quoted people close to Zelensky as saying that Ukraine was deeply disappointed by the leak. In addition, talks about judicial reform in Israel and secret South Korean consultations on whether to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine have also been the subject of US espionage.
From this it can be seen that Washington is deeply involved in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and wants to control the situation. The US does not trust any country, including its allies. Whether it is allied leaders or the development of the war, they are all pawns in the US hegemonic chess game. Analysts point out that the negative effect of this incident on US allies may go beyond that of WikiLeaks.
