"British
soldiers are on Ukrainian territory, helping the Ukrainians launch Storm Shadow
long-range missiles - according to an overheard conversation between German Air
Force officers. The recording of the conversation was posted on the Internet.
On March 1, the
editor-in-chief of RT television, Margarita Simonjan, made public the recording
of a conversation between four officers of the German Air Force.
Leaked
conversation between German officers: Almost 40 minutes of conversation,
including: about the attacks on the Crimean Bridge
The overheard
officers talk for almost 40 minutes about, among others: the use of German
Taurus missiles by Ukraine to attack the Crimean Bridge. German officers are
wondering whether it would be possible to avoid the participation of
representatives of the German army in this attack.
Germany has not
yet decided to transfer Taurus precision missiles, with a range of
approximately 500 km, to Ukraine, even though Kiev has been asking for them for
a long time.
Due to the
publication of the recording, the German ambassador was summoned by the Russian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
During the
conversation, General Ingo Gerhartz, commander of the German Air Force,
describes how Great Britain is cooperating with Ukraine when Kiev uses Storm
Shadow long-range missiles. These missiles allow for precise destruction of
targets at a distance of approximately 250 km.
British soldiers
are in Ukraine. Help attack targets with Storm Shadow missiles?
- When it comes
to mission planning (using Storm Shadow missiles - ed.), I know how the British
do it, they do it completely from a distance. They also have some people on the
ground doing this, the French don't (France gave Ukraine its version of the
Strom Shadow missile, SCALP-EG - ed.).
The conversation
between Luftwaffe officers went online. The Russians could have eavesdropped
Chancellor Olaf
Scholz promises a quick clarification of reports about German officers'
conversations regarding Tauruses intercepted by Russia.
Gerhartz's
statement - as "The Guardian" writes - shows that there are British
soldiers in Ukraine who participate in attacks on Russian targets (Storm Shadow
missiles are used for strikes deep behind the front, including strikes on
Crimea.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting
on the content of the conversation, said that it was evidence of "the
direct involvement of the collective West in the conflict in Ukraine.
German officers
whose conversation was leaked to the media admit that the quick transfer of
Taurus missiles to Ukraine would require the involvement of the German army
The authenticity
of the recording published by Simonjan has not been confirmed. Germany is
investigating the matter, and German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has
accused Russia of waging an information war.
Former British
deputy defense minister Tobias Ellwood believes that the Russians probably knew
about the British military presence in Ukraine anyway.
Britain confirmed
for the first time the presence of a "small number of troops" in
Ukraine last Tuesday. However, it was not specified what role British soldiers
played on the Dnieper.
Olaf Scholz said
last Monday that Germany does not want to transfer the Taurus missiles to
Ukraine because it would require the presence of German soldiers on the Dnieper
and the involvement of the Ukrainian army in handling these missiles.
German officers
whose conversation was leaked to the media admit that the quick transfer of
Taurus missiles to Ukraine would require the involvement of the German army,
including the presence of German soldiers in Ukraine."
Many in the West will not like the British playing with the fire of a global nuclear war. Therefore, the chances that US Republicans will vote for military support for Zelensky are decreasing. The Russians will unite even more closely against such a danger.
