If it's a deliberate leak, it's an interesting play - many of us have wondered if any of the product form the constant stream on NATO (and non-NATO) ISTAR over Eastern Europe was being passed on to the Ukrainians. What would be the intention in leaking? The bluff is an interesting idea, the other side would be it's a hawkish 'come and get me' play to encourage an act of aggression towards NATO assets by Russia, then giving NATO an excuse to take action.Or is it an unofficial leak from hawkish elements wanting to achieve that outcome.
