Last month a conference call between a group of Germany’s top military generals was intercepted by Russia, with its leak via Kremlin-backed TV causing widespread embarrassment and concern in Berlin and prompting a tightening of security regulations.
Amid widespread criticism towards Germany as well as sheer embarrassment over the call in which information about military tactics of Germany and its European and US allies were revealed – including that Britain and the UK had “troops on the ground” – Pistorius said he had spoken to many of his counterparts on Monday, and they had expressed “no sense of annoyance towards Germany”, and “reassured me that trust in Germany is uninterrupted”. He said there had been unanimity among Germany’s partners, that “we won’t let ourselves be divided by this Russian attack”.
“Britain and the UK”? Like, what, Guernsey has some kind of crack unit of special forces running around in Ukraine?
