A White House source said there are indications that such a strategy has worked. Russian President Vladimir Putin was taken by surprise. At the same time, intercepted data from intelligence officers and the US National Security Council led Russian intelligence agencies to complain about the exposure of their plans.
Because of this, the Kremlin may question whether they will be able to implement aggressive plans and keep them secret.
However, this strategy led to conflicts with the American media. The White House did not provide evidence for its claims. Information came in the form of statements by intelligence officials, and officials actually asked journalists to report this data without proper confirmation.
