The leak of a conversation among senior Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces) officers, who were discussing a potential Ukrainian strike on Russia’s Crimean Bridge using German-supplied Taurus missiles, has not damaged Germany’s credibility among its partners, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said, APA reports citing TASS.
"Yesterday, I had telephone talks with partners and colleagues in other countries. Germany’s credibility has not been impaired," he said. "Everybody understands the risks of such tapping attacks and knows that it is impossible to guarantee 100-percent protection. Our partners know that we are thoroughly investigating this incident."
The RT broadcaster’s editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan said on March 1 that on the very day when German Chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed that NATO was not participating and would not participate in the Ukrainian conflict, high-ranking German officers were discussing the possibility of attacking the Crimean Bridge in a way that would help avoid consequences for the German authorities. Simonyan said there was an audio recording of this conversation and later released the transcript of the leaked conversation, which indicates that the officers were discussing how much destruction Germany’s Taurus long-range missiles could cause to the Crimean Bridge as well as details of preparations for such an attack.
