German army discussed strike on Crimean Bridge, leaked audio purportedly indicates
Kiev has long sought to destroy the critical Russian infrastructure, with two bombings damaging the bridge in the past two years | German military leaders allegedly discussed an operation to bomb the Crimean Bridge, RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan claimed on Friday, citing audio leaked by Russian security officials. The recording purportedly features a 40-minute conversation between high-ranking Bundeswehr officers, Simonyan said on social media. They discussed how to carry out the attack while maintaining plausible deniability for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, according to her account of the conversation. ● They also remarked that the German military was keeping its distance from the Ukraine conflict, unlike the American and the British, who they said had been “directly involved for a long time,” Simonyan claimed. She did not publish the audio, but said she was tempted to do so. Requests for comment have been sent to German officials, including the ambassador, the foreign ministry, and the chancellor’s office, Simonyan added.
