MOSCOW, March 14. /TASS/. The conversation of German officers about the strikes at the Crimean Bridge is a confession that reveals Germany’s true intentions, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview for Soloviev.Live, partially aired on the Rossiya-1 TV Channel.

"This was a confession," Lavrov said, speaking about Vladimir Zelensky’s anti-Russian rhetoric from 2021. "Just like the leaked conversation of German generals. The same kind of full confession," Lavrov said.

The Minister stated his certainty that German officers spoke from their hearts as they remembered the "good old Luftwaffe."

"This is indicative," the Foreign Minister said.

On March 1, RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan said that on the very day that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was giving public assurances that NATO was not now and would not in the future be directly involved in the Ukraine conflict, Germany’s top brass was in fact mulling how to carry out a potential attack on the Crimean Bridge in a way that would have no repercussions for Berlin by giving it the cover of plausible deniability. Simonyan said she had a corroborating audio recording of the Bundeswehr officers’ conversation in her possession. She later released a transcript of it, which makes it clear that the military officers discussed the Taurus missiles’ capability to hit and destroy the Crimean Bridge and the tactical details involved in preparing such an attack. According to Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechayev, the situation around the leak proves Berlin’s deep involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.
