For the first time in modern memory, Western governments are deliberately and routinely declassifying intelligence to wage a war of global perception against Russia over Ukraine. What was once the most jealously guarded instrument of statecraft — the secret — is now being deployed as a tool of public persuasion, with the US, UK, and NATO publishing intercepts, satellite imagery, and operational assessments at an unprecedented pace.
