The Kremlin has declined to comment on a fresh raft of U.S. intelligence leaks, many of which pertain to Ukraine and other allies of the United States.

“I can’t comment on that in any way,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on April 10 when asked about speculation that Moscow was behind the leaks, which were first reported last week by The New York Times.
