Leaked secret U.S. documents reveal that support for Ukraine among U.S. allies was a harder sell than the Biden administration acknowledged.
Since the day Russia invaded Ukraine nearly 14 months ago, President Biden has cited the strength of the widespread international commitment to the mission ofBut newly leaked secret U.S. government documents provide details of how some close non-European allies have been reluctant to provide arms to Ukraine, and in the case of Egypt, even considered supplying rockets to Russia, because of competing interests and concerns.
How true that is remains unclear. Some of the documents, for example, describe very recent movements on the Ukraine battlefield, a shortage of weaponry for Kyiv and the current — albeit well-known —However, U.S. and Ukraine officials have dismissed the significance of the information. And some documents have been altered, U.S. officials said. So not all can be taken at face value.
In the case of Israel, long referred to as America’s closest ally in the Middle East, a reluctance to cross Russian President Vladimir Putin has been publicly known since the invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022. The document suggests Israel could adopt the model followed by Turkey, in which the government maintains ties with Moscow even as its private companies have sold drones and other weapons to Ukraine. One incentive, the document surmises, could be increased cooperation with the U.S. against Iran.
However, for Egypt to more assist Russia by supplying firepower would be seen in Washington as a betrayal. The leaked contents involving Egypt were first reported by the Washington Post. The documents also appear to indicate that U.S. officials, frustrated over Seoul’s resistance to supplying weapons to Ukraine, spied on their South Korean counterparts. They contain purported private conversations about Ukraine among senior South Korean officials.
