The Crimean Bridge is also in Moscow: what stops Scholz from transferring the Taurus

Russian propagandists published online a leak of a conversation between German military personnel who discussed the destruction of the Crimean Bridge and how many Taurus missiles are needed for this . In response, the Russians began threatening to strike German bridges.

Political strategist Mikhail Sheitelman told 24 Channel, that the fact that the Russians wiretapped German officers is also important in this situation. They were even forced to leak their listening channels to create a scandal.

Ukraine must decide what to do with the Crimean Bridge

The Russians were afraid that Ukraine would still manage to sign the Taurus agreement, so they decided to stop it this way. We do not know for sure whether adjustments were made to the recording that was posted online. It actually hosts a working meeting of the German military, which discusses the transfer of long-range missiles, their quantity and use.

Next, they reflect on how many Taurus are needed to destroy the Crimean Bridge. From which aircraft can rockets be launched? For example, they remember the French. That is, a specific working conversation took place. Of course, no one doubted that our allies were conducting such negotiations,” said Mikhail Sheitelman.

The entire Pentagon, British intelligence are discussing how to help Ukraine, what steps should be taken . This is an obvious fact. But the Russians want to show that the West is allegedly preparing to strike Russia, although the conversation only talked about the destruction of the Crimean Bridge. It is on the territory of Ukraine, so only Ukraine can decide what to do with it.

Russia even summoned the German ambassador. In this case, Berlin would have to take a firm stand and insist that the Russians should not be interested in what is being discussed with Ukraine. This is a matter of only two countries.

Propagandists began to tell which German bridges would be destroyed in response. It would be good to call the Russian ambassador here, because the Germans said nothing at all about Russian bridges. They weren’t talking about the Crimean Bridge, which is in the center of Moscow, but about the one that doesn’t concern Russians at all,” noted the political strategist.

How Scholz will react to the “leak” of the conversation

The German Chancellor may begin to make excuses, or may take a different position that is consistent with international law. Therefore, everything will depend on his reaction. He has already called the situation outrageous, but did not specify what exactly is meant – the destruction of the bridge or the fact of wiretapping. It can be assumed that the second option was discussed.

Therefore, you should not think that “leaking” the conversation will reduce Ukraine’s chances of receiving the Taurus. In addition, Scholz has the right to mislead the enemy. That is, he can easily change his position, explaining that the transfer of missiles was kept secret so that the Russians would not find out anything.

Scholz always I was afraid of hasty decisions. For example, he noted that Germany would not be the first country to transfer tanks, that is, they were still transferred, but not the first. The same can happen with rockets. Scholz can wait for the US decision regarding military assistance, the political strategist emphasized.

“Leak” of the conversation of German officers: context

• Propagandist Margarita Simonyan published a message on March 1 in which she noted that “they shared something interesting” with her. It was about a conversation between German soldiers who discussed the destruction of the Crimean Bridge. They named the number of missiles and aircraft needed for this, as well as the military training program. Simonyan ended her message with threats to blow up German bridges.
• Olaf Scholz confirmed that the recording of the conversation was genuine. He noted that now we need to very quickly and carefully find out all the details. The chancellor called the information leak a big problem. Also in Germany, they still have to find out whether changes were made to the recording that was published on social networks.
• The White House noted that Russia is using this situation to sow discord between partners Ukraine. However, the Russians' attempts were called “senseless.” The White House representative added that it is beneficial for the occupiers to show that the West is supposedly divided, but in reality it is not.
