What they say in Germany
According to the head of the German Defense Ministry, Boris Pistorius, the wiretapping of high-ranking military officials of the Bundeswehr Air Force and the release of their conversations are part of the hybrid war being waged by Russia.
This is part of Putin's information war. It is about a split. It is about undermining our unity. And, accordingly, we must react to it especially cautiously, but no less decisively, - noted Pistorius.
According to him, at the moment it is impossible to concede to Putin in anything.
