Ukraine War Plans Leak Prompts Pentagon Investigation

Note the key part: the actual ratio of Russian casualties to Ukrainian casualties is about 1:4.5 in Russia's favor, not the 2:1 favoring Ukraine that the "officials" made up. And they are, of course, trying to pass off the real numbers as "disinformation" while attempting in vain to scrub the leak from social media.
Russia is winning the war. And our government can no longer stop us from knowing it.
It sounds like the Russians altered the numbers and then released the file.
If the Russians are 'winning', why are they still losing ground?
The analysts warned that documents released by Russian sources could be selectively altered to present the Kremlin’s disinformation.
“Whether these documents are authentic or not, people should take care with anything released by Russian sources,” said Michael Kofman, the director of Russian studies at CNA, a research institute in Arlington, Virginia.
One of the slides said 16,000 to 17,500 Russian soldiers had been killed while Ukraine had suffered as many as 71,500 troop deaths. The Pentagon and other analysts have estimated that Russia has suffered far more casualties, and that closer to 200,000 soldiers on each side had been killed or wounded.
Nonetheless, analysts said parts of the documents appeared authentic and provide Russia with valuable information such as the timetables for the delivery of weapons and troops, Ukrainian troop buildup numbers and other military details.
