Germany is facing scrutiny and pressure after a leaked phone call revealed discussions among air force officials about giving Ukraine long-range missiles. The leaked audio recording, posted by Russia’s state-run RT channel, has raised major concerns about Germany’s security among allies. The conversation included top German military officers discussing the possibility of supplying Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles and details of alleged British operations in Ukraine. The breach has highlighted divisions within Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government, with some military officials advocating for sending the missiles while Scholz remains reluctant due to fears of escalating the conflict with Russia. The incident has also drawn accusations of Russian interference and disinformation, with German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius accusing Russia of attempting to sow division within the Western alliance. The leaked conversation has prompted calls for increased security measures and a closer examination of Germany’s military communications practices to prevent future breaches.
