The "drain" of secret information that allegedly took place during the meeting of the US president with the Russian foreign minister, could in fact be a US special operation; At present, the scandal with the leakage of information is exclusively "newspaper".

This opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by the military expert Oleg Zhdanov.

"Note who is hysterical about the information leakage from Trump. Press. But there are three key figures in the American management system, which are worth paying attention to. The first one is the director of the CIA, the second is the director of the National Security Agency, the third is the head of the FBI. If these three people sit quietly, it means that Trump did not just merge the information, but he gave the information that is needed. So, this is a special operation, "he said..

According to Zhdanov, "Lavrov most likely came to bargain and to soften as much as possible the ultimatum that the US is pushing". In this context, he noted: "As they say, Trump allegedly gave Lavrov information about IGIL. But we know that IGIL is a derivative of Lubyanka. I think that this was done specifically to show Russia how deeply the US owns information on YIGIL. And if they start publishing it, for Russia this will be another "blow in the back", as they like to express themselves ".

"If Trump wanted to convey some state secrets, believe me, we would not have known about this," the expert assured. "There are key figures - watch what they say at their briefings. All the rest is a newspaper sensation, "he said..

Answering the question of the "Observer", can the leakage of classified military information, if it really was, shift today's balance of nuclear potentials of the US and Russia, Zhdanov said: "The difference in the level of technology, especially in nuclear weapons, between the US and Russia - Two orders of magnitude. Russia has the nuclear potential of the Soviet Union, 1970-80s. For all the time of independence they have upgraded only launchers - the launch shafts are gradually changing to the mobile complexes "Topol-M". So here the nuclear potential has nothing to do with it, "he assured.

As the Observer wrote, the American edition of The Washington Post claims that US President Donald Trump provided enough classified information to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak during a meeting in the White House. Later, the ex-head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, General of the Army of Ukraine Nikolai Malomuzh said: the alleged leak of information could be part of a "powerful special operation".
