 According to this article, russian planes have been dropping bombs on ukranian forces: https://euromaidanpress.com/2023/03/30/russians-started-dropping-guided-aviation-bombs-on-the-frontline-en-masse/

There isn't a lot of other reporting about this yet, so I'm not sure if this just represents more low-level lobbing attacks or whether it means that Ukraine is running low enough on ground-based air defenses that they can't protect all frontline areas.

That at least one leaked doc had the Top Secret marking as well.

There was a statement from the FBI that less than a thousand people would have had access to all the documents.

Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced critical new security assistance for Ukraine. This includes the authorization of a Presidential Drawdown of security assistance with more ammunition for U.S.-provided HIMARS, artillery rounds, and anti-armor capabilities essential to strengthening Ukraine’s defenders on the battlefield valued at up to $325 million.

The Presidential Drawdown is the thirty-sixth such drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine that the Biden Administration has authorized since August 2021. The capabilities in this package include:

Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
155mm and 105mm artillery rounds;
Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles;
AT-4 anti-armor weapon systems;
Anti-tank mines;
Demolition munitions for obstacle clearing;
Over 9 million rounds of small arms ammunition;
Four logistics support vehicles;
Precision aerial munitions;
Testing and diagnostic equipment to support vehicle maintenance and repair;
Port and harbor security equipment;
Spare parts and other field equipment.

Does "Precision aerial munitions" mean JDAMs? Have those been mentioned before?

 The ISW is endorsing the false flag theory: https://understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-may-3-2023

Their main reasons were:
- The amount of air defense stationed in the area makes a real attack infeasible
- High quality video of the attack was quickly made available
- A coordinated media message was delivered within hours, whereas surprising events in the past have usually had slow and unclear messaging from the russian government and media
