A national security expert says Canada will likely wait for American security services to investigate and brief Ottawa on an apparent leak of Pentagon documents that appear to detail U.S. and NATO operations in Ukraine.
Wesley Wark, a senior fellow with the Centre for International Governance Innovation, says Canadian officials will want to learn the seriousness of the leak and the specific information pertaining to Canada contained within the documents.
The documents posted online are labelled secret and contain what appear to be details on weapons and equipment shipments to Ukraine, but they also contain apparent inaccuracies that have some questioning their authenticity, or whether they were altered. But it said it was concerned about "the opportunities for critical infrastructure disruption" on internet-connected technology in industrial processes.
Stephanie Carvin, an associate professor of international relations at Carleton University, said the apparent leaks put Canada at risk because the Americans have likely now lost access to cyber groups targeting this country.
