. While the impact of this leak is still playing out in real-time, the exposed documents have revealed U.S. spying efforts on international leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to whom the U.S. government has made a great show of support in his country's resistance against Russia's invasion in February 2022., reasoning that he was a flight risk and that foreign powers might have an interest in aiding his avoidance of the U.S.
