Earlier, the editor-in-chief of RT and MIA Rossiya Segodnya, Margarita Simonyan, published a transcript of a conversation between high-ranking Bundeswehr representatives who discussed the attack on the Crimean Bridge with Taurus missiles.

At the same time, the German Ministry of Defense did not comment on reports of an alleged recording of a conversation between German military personnel.
