Germany Launches Probe into Russian 'Information War' Spy Leak
Germany accuses Russia of waging an "information war" after a sensitive discussion among high-ranking Bundeswehr military officers concerning Ukraine was intercepted and released by Russia. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of seeking to sow disunity and create divisions within Germany, and called it part of an ongoing information war. The leaked audio recording has prompted calls for improved training on secure communication for senior military officers and has sparked controversy over Germany's stance on potentially sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine. Germany is investigating how the leak happened and considering potential disciplinary action against those involved.
