It's April 11, 2023, and this is your DSR Daily Brief. I'm Chris Cotnor. Our top stories from international outlets this morning.

Political reports that senior US officials are racing to placate frustrated and confused allies from Europe to the Middle East to Kiev following the leak of highly classified information about the war in Ukraine and other global issues.

After the news of the leak broke last week, senior intelligence, state department, and Pentagon officials reached out to their counterparts to quail worries about the publishing of the intel according to four officials, an American two-European and one-five eyes member, familiar with those conversations.

Meanwhile, officials in London, Brussels, Berlin, Dubai, and Kiev questioned Washington about how the information ended up online, who was responsible for the leak, and what the US was doing to ensure the information was removed from social media.

According by the Washington Post indicates that President Abdel Fata Elsissi of Egypt, one of America's closest allies in the Middle East and a major recipient of US aid, recently ordered subordinates to produce up to 40,000 rockets to be covertly shipped to Russia according to a leaked US intelligence document.

A portion of the top secret document dated February 17th summarizes purported conversations between Sissy and senior Egyptian military officials and also references plans to supply Russia with artillery rounds and gunpowder.

In this document, Sissy instructs the officials to keep the production and shipment of the rocket's secret to avoid problems with the West.

The Washington Post obtained the document from a trove of images of classified files posted in February and March on Discord, a chat at popular with gamers.
