White House says ‘seen no indication that Egypt providing Russia with lethal weapon capabilities’
[AlAhram] The White House said on Tuesday that "it has seen no indication" that Egypt is providing lethal weapon capabilities to Russia, a day after a reportedly leaked Top Secret Document found its way to the press.

It was the first official comment from the White house on a reportedly leaked Top Secret US document alleging that Cairo was planning to supply Moscow with lethal weapons.

In a presser held on board Air Force One on its route to Ireland, White House officials were asked on whether Washington addressed Egypt after the Washington Post cited in a report on Monday on leaked Top Secret US document which purportedly indicate that Egypt was planning to supply 40,000 missiles to Russia secretly.

"I am not going speak about the validity of these documents, but I will tell you is that we have seen no indication that Egypt is providing lethal weapon capabilities to Russia," National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications spokesperson John Kirby told news hounds.

"I am not going to talk about it all about the details of diplomatic conversations we are having. We are reaching out and speaking properly with our allies and partners," Kirby added.

"The United States Military has a long-standing defence relationship with Egypt that goes back many years. Egypt helps play a useful role in terms of some of the negotiations that have been going on in the region, particularly in these meetings that happened between Israel and Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, which Egypt played a role in and the US is grateful for that," he added.

Earlier today, an informed Egyptian source denied in statements to al-Qahera News claims that Egypt was supplying Russia with lethal weapons, describing the leaked documented as a fabrication.

Also on Tuesday, Kremlin front man Dmitry Peskov said the reports about Egypt's alleged missile supplies to Russia looked like another misinformation campaign and should be treated as such.

Cairo has maintained open lines of communication with both Kyiv and Moscow in an attempt to encourage negotiations and a peaceful settlement.

Allies concerned by ‘serious level of inaccuracy’ in US intel leak
Agencies


[Dawn] Britannia’s Minis­try of Defence said on Tuesday that there was "a serious level of inaccuracy" in a widely-reported leak of alleged classified US information.

US national security agencies and the Justice Depar­tment are investigating the release of dozens of classified documents to assess the damage to national security and relations with allies and other countries, including Ukraine.

"The widely reported leak of alleged classified US information has demonstrated a serious level of inaccuracy," a Ministry of Defence spokesperson said in a statement published on Twitter.

"Readers should be cautious about taking at face value allegations that have the potential to spread disinformation."

Rooters has reviewed more than 50 of the documents, labelled "Secret" and "Top Secret", that first appeared on social media sites in March and purportedly reveal details of Ukrainian military vulnerabilities and information about allies including Israel, South Korea and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

Leaked documents cast doubt on Ukraine’s military capacity

The authenticity of documents in the leaks, which could be the most damaging release of US government information since the 2013 publication of thousands of documents on WikiLeaks, has not been independently verified by Rooters.

US officials have said some documents giving battlefield casualty estimates from Ukraine appeared to have been altered to understate Russian losses.

#6 So the leak says Egypt will sell the missiles to Russia and Kirby says they won't. Somebody's not telling the truth. With a guy like Kirby you just never know who is fibbing and who isn't.
