The Pentagon considers the leak of the documents a “deliberate criminal act” but has not explained how a young man who has been in the Massachusetts National Guard for just over three years has been able to access classified information which compromises US allies and details US and NATO plans to bolster the anti-Russian offensive in Ukraine.
