Germany's defense minister has raised concerns over a leaked conversation between high-ranking air force officers, suggesting Russian involvement in the incident. The officers were reportedly discussing a potential transfer of long-range tourist missiles to Ukraine. The conversation was made public last week by the head of Russia's state broadcaster.
Boris Pistorius, the German defense minister, pointed out the timing of the leak and the swift response as indications of a coordinated effort, which he believes is part of a broader Russian campaign. He emphasized that the situation goes beyond a mere interception and publication of a conversation within the air force, characterizing it as part of an information war orchestrated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
