Pentagon officials are still reviewing the documents for validity and the Justice Department is overseeing a criminal investigation of the leak.

There may be more documents to come, but the leak has already done a lot of damage, forcing crucial U.S. allies to respond in what has become an arguably embarrassing incident for Washington.

Here are the seven biggest revelations in the documents so far.

Munitions for Soviet-era air defense systems deployed by Ukraine will soon run out, potentially imperiling Kyiv in the war against Russia, documents show.

The Pentagon documents suggested that Ukraine could withstand only a few more waves of Russian missile strikes.

The documents paint a darker picture, with Kyiv likely to struggle against entrenched Russian positions in southeastern Ukraine and with "Deficiencies" in training and munitions, according to The Post's review.

The documents also contain information about Russia's forces in Ukraine, which the U.S. obtained through intelligence gathering.

Some of the leaked documents indicate the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad supported nationwide protests against a proposed judicial reform from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu's office on Sunday denied the allegations against Mossad. South Korea was concerned about supplying munitions to US. Other documents also pointed to potential U.S. spying on South Korea, a major ally in the Indo-Pacific, on support for Ukraine.

On Tuesday, the office of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol said a "Significant number" of the leaked U.S. documents were forged, citing a recent conversation between the defense chiefs from both nations.

Another bombshell revelation from the documents included classified information that Egypt was secretly planning to support Russia in its war against Ukraine.

UAE agreed to work with Russian spy agents against US, UK. The United Arab Emirates, an oil-rich Arab nation in the Middle East, planned to work with Russian spies against U.S. and U.K. intelligence agencies, another document said.
