The newspaper itself is said to have had access to the documents thanks to the much-discussed leaks, where a 21-year-old openly posted confidential documents via the Discord chat service.

According to the document, the attacks on Russian forces were to be carried out with Syrian assistance – more than 1,500 kilometers from kyiv.

According to American intelligence, the new arena planned for the war was intended to inflict significant damage and costs on both the Russian army and the battleships of the Wagner Group.

It might also have forced Russia to send some of its forces from its positions in Ukraine away from the front lines, and into Syria, the documents say.

In December, President Volodymyr Zelenskyj reportedly canceled these plans.

The documents claim that the Kurdish group the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the fall should have asked for training, air defense systems and a guarantee that the Ukrainians would not reveal they were involved.

They also reportedly demanded that Russian forces in Kurdish areas not be attacked.

– The mentioned documents concerning our forces are not authentic. Our forces have never been involved in the Russian-Ukrainian war, SDF spokesman Farhad Shami told The Washington Post.

According to the documents, Turkey must also have been aware of the plans.
