Germany Investigates Leak of Recording of Its Officers Discussing Ukraine Aid
Germany has launched an investigation after a leaked recording revealed a discussion among top-ranking officers regarding the country’s Ukraine war strategy. The conversation, leaked online by the head of Russia’s RT channel, involves German air force officers discussing the potential delivery of Taurus weapon systems to Ukraine and targeting the Kerch Bridge, connecting Crimea to mainland Russia. Chancellor Olaf Scholz described the leak as a “very serious matter” and pledged a thorough investigation. The authenticity of the recording has been confirmed by the German Defense Ministry, although alterations cannot be ruled out. Concerns over the use of Taurus missiles by Ukraine and fears of attacks on Russian territory have led to German reluctance in sending the weapons to Kyiv. Moscow has demanded explanations from Germany, warning against evasion as an admission of guilt. The leaked audio has sparked alarm among German politicians, with fears of further intercepted conversations being leaked in the future.
