The decision of the German authorities to transfer Taurus long-range missiles to the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been called into question due to the publication of conversations among Bundeswehr military personnel discussing strikes on the Crimean Bridge. According to the Financial Times (FT), German defense analyst Christian Mellinga, from the German Council on Foreign Relations, has provided insights into this matter.
Mellinga stated that Moscow wanted German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to never change his mind about supplying Taurus missiles to Ukraine.
“Moscow managed to create the perfect political dilemma in Germany,” Mellinga said.
It is noted that Scholz has become a key figure on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s chessboard.
Prior to this, the Polish publication Do Rzeczy reported that the interception of conversations among German military personnel about potential strikes on the Crimean Bridge caused a political storm in Germany and raised serious concerns about the security of government communications.
Earlier, the commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces stated that Russia has an advantage in the use of FPV drones.
