Russian media on Friday published a 38-minute recording of a call in which German officers were heard discussing weapons for Ukraine and a potential strike by Kyiv on a bridge in Crimea, prompting officials in Moscow to demand an explanation. On Saturday, Germany called it an apparent act of eavesdropping and said it was investigating. “The incident is much more than just the interception and publication of a conversation … It is part of an information war that Putin is waging,” defence minister Boris Pistorius said on Sunday. “It is a hybrid disinformation attack. It is about division. It is about undermining our unity.” The Kremlin has repeatedly denied accusations of spreading false or misleading information when faced with allegations from other countries. On Friday, a Russian foreign ministry spokesperson said the country was demanding an “explanation from Germany,” without detailing its particular concerns. On the leaked call, participants discuss the possible delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Kyiv, which Chancellor Olaf Scholz has so far publicly rejected. Kyiv has long been asking Germany to provide it with Taurus missiles, which can reach targets up to 500km away. The discussions also covered the use of long-range missiles provided to Kyiv by France and Britain – and the training of Ukrainian soldiers. MORE;
