Peskov: Russia loves Germans and Germany, but the time of wise politicians has passed. On March 1, the editor-in-chief of RT and MIA Rossiya Segodnya published an audio recording of a conversation between high-ranking Bundeswehr representatives.

German Ministry of Defense confirmed to the ARD television channel that the negotiations of German army officers were bugged. Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergei Nechaev emphasized that these negotiations confirm Germany’s involvement in the Ukrainian conflict.
