The US report appeared to be based in part on signals intelligence.
SEOUL, April 11 - A senior South Korean security official said on Tuesday that information contained in purportedly leaked U.S. confidential documents that appeared to be based on internal discussions among top South Korean officials is "untrue" and "altered."
Several documents have recently been posted on social media offering a partial, month-old snapshot of the war in Ukraine, including one that gives details of internal discussions among South Korean officials about U.S. pressure on Seoul to help supply weapons to Ukraine. South Korea has said its law forbids supplying weapons to countries engaged in conflict, meaning it can't send arms to Ukraine.
Reuters has not independently verified the authenticity of the documents. Some giving battlefield casualty estimates from Ukraine appeared to have been altered to minimise Russian losses."The U.S. is the country with the world's best intelligence capabilities and since inauguration we have shared intelligence in almost every sector," Kim said.
