Another official said Biden conveyed that the leaks must stop.
Biden spoke to officials amid his administration’s concerns about the news, in particular that the Pentagon had given the UAF the exact coordinates of the cruiser Moskva.
Some administration officials have expressed concern that public disclosures could escalate the conflict by provoking Russian President Vladimir Putin and could reduce the effectiveness of U.S. intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
