CIA Director William Burns. File photoWASHINGTON, May 7.CIA Director William Burns said on Saturday that he considers the recent leaks to the press of US intelligence sharing with Ukraine «irresponsible and risky.» I absolutely agree that this is irresponsible.

They have much more information than we have, and much more intelligence than the United States and our allies,» the head of the US intelligence service said. The day before, US media wrote that US President Joe Biden on Friday demanded Pentagon to stop such leaks, considering them counterproductive and «distracting» from US goals. As The New York Times previously reported, Washington is secretly transmitting «real-time» information about events on the battlefield to Ukraine, including details of the movements of Russian troops after the announcement of the second phase of the special operation . According to the publication, Ukrainian officials combined this data with their own intelligence information «to carry out artillery shelling and other attacks.» Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in this regard that the Russian military knows that the United States, NATO, Britain are transferring to Ukraine not only weapons, but also intelligence, which does not contribute to the quick completion of the special operation, but will not prevent its completion. The Pentagon later issued a refutation of media reports on this topic.The Pentagon denies the transfer of data on the location of the Russian Armed Forces to Ukraine
