The Bundestag called the leak of the officers' conversation the result of a “Russian operation”

The committee meeting was also attended by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.

“All signs of wiretapping point to a Russian operation of hacking and information leakage,” the committee said in a statement, as quoted by TASS.

As the Politico newspaper wrote, the publication in Russia of an intercepted conversation between German officers split the Western allies and discredited German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

At the same time, Scholz himself claims that the trust between Germany and its allies and friends “is so high that what happened will not undermine it.”

On March 1, the editor-in-chief of RT and MIA Rossiya Segodnya, Margarita Simonyan, published an audio recording of a conversation between high-ranking Bundeswehr representatives who discussed the attack on the Crimean Bridge with Taurus missiles.

On March 2, the German Ministry of Defense confirmed to the ARD television channel that the negotiations of German army officers were bugged.
