NATO deemed unprofessional the actions of FRG officers whose conversation was intercepted

The North Atlantic Alliance has described as unprofessional the actions of German officers whose conversation about plans to attack the Crimean bridge was intercepted.

About it writes the Bloomberg agency.

According to him, NATO officials reacted differently to the leak of the conversation of the officers.

“One of the officials called the lax measures unprofessional and said that such behaviour could be expected from people who have never undergone security briefings, but not from military officials,” the publication says.

In addition, the agency writes, another alliance official called Berlin’s similar lapse unsurprising.

On 1 March, Margarita Simonyan, the chief of RT and Rossiya Segodnya news agency, published an audio recording of a conversation between high-ranking Bundeswehr officials who discussed the attack on the Crimean bridge with Taurus missiles. Later, the German Defence Ministry confirmed to the ARD TV channel that the conversations of German army officers were tapped.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said afterwards that he was against the supply of Taurus cruise missiles to the Ukrainian Armed Forces because, according to him, German soldiers were needed to control their use.
