A Russian official<\/a> is suggesting Wednesday that the leak of classified U.S. documents may have been a deliberate act to “mislead the enemy.” <\/p>\n Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov made the remarks to Russian news agencies, according to Reuters, as White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told Fox News that the source of the leaks remains unknown.<\/a><\/p>\n “It’s probably interesting for someone to look at these documents, if they are documents at all, or maybe they are fake, maybe this is a deliberate information dump,” Ryabkov reportedly said.<\/p>\n “Since the United States is a party to the [Ukraine] conflict and is in essence waging a hybrid war against us, it’s possible such things are being done to mislead the enemy \u2013 that is the Russian Federation,” he added.<\/p>\n US SPECIAL FORCES IN UKRAINE AT EMBASSY, OFFICIAL CONFIRMS, AS PENTAGON DOCUMENT LEAK PROBE HEATS UP<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov says the leak of classified documents from the U.S. may have been deliberate.<\/span> (Reuters \/ Denis Balibouse \/ File)<\/span><\/p>\n The Kremlin also said Wednesday that it didn\u2019t know “like everyone else” the authenticity of the documents, Reuters reported. <\/p>\n Some of the leaked U.S. Pentagon documents paint a grim picture of Ukraine’s air defense outlook,<\/a> predicting that its S-300 air defense systems could run out of ammunition as early as May 2, and the country’s other air defenses could be depleted by May 23.<\/p>\n The documents, dated to late February, state that systems like the S-300 make up some 89% of Ukraine’s air defense capability.<\/p>\n Russia currently maintains a fleet of some 485 fighter jets, compared to Ukraine’s 85. Should air defense systems go offline, the lopsided numbers game in the air would be Ukraine\u2019s only means of trying to secure the sky over its troops.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
