The Pentagon declined to comment on a recording of German officers talking about strikes on the Crimean bridge, redirecting the question to the Bundeswehr.
“I will redirect you to the German military,” a spokesman said in response to a RIA Novosti enquiry.
Earlier, the chief of RT and Rossiya Segodnya news agency Margarita Simonyan published a transcript of a conversation between high-ranking Bundeswehr officials who discussed the attack on the Crimean bridge with Taurus missiles.
At the same time, the German Defence Ministry did not comment on the reports about the alleged recording of the German military conversation.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the publication of the conversation by the German military was astonishing, but Russia was aware of the activities of NATO military in Ukraine.
