6 scenarios behind the leaking of the Pentagon documents about Ukraine

October 3, 2025

The American intelligence expert, Jonathan Acuff, of the Department of Intelligence and National Security Studies at the University of Carolina, confirmed that there are 6 scenarios behind the leaking of the Pentagon documents regarding the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The expert told Al-Jazeera website that the 6 scenarios are:

1- The documents were mostly leaked by a US intelligence worker, or the leaks may have come from someone trying to expose wrongdoing by the US government and its spying on allies.

2- The motive behind these leaks may be to contribute to achieving peace.

3- The leaks may be misleading and Russia or China may be behind them, and Russia may have included information that shows it in a weak way, which provides a convincing argument that it is not the source of the leaks.

4- That the leak is part of the US strategy of misinformation and deception, but this scenario is unlikely.

5- That the source of the leaks be from a person who is strongly supportive of Ukraine from within the American intelligence services.

6- The leaks are from pirates who do not have specific political goals, and this is a great possibility.
