Germany Probes Russian Eavesdropping on Military Conference Call Regarding Ukraine Aid

German authorities are investigating a leaked phone call between senior military officials discussing the potential supply of long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine, a move that Chancellor Olaf Scholz has been hesitant to make. The leaked recording, posted by a Russian state-controlled broadcaster, has sparked concerns about Russian eavesdropping and disinformation tactics. The debate over Ukraine aid comes amid a stalled $60 billion U.S. assistance package, with Germany facing pressure from allies to provide lethal support. The leaked call has raised questions about the security of sensitive communications and the potential impact of such weapon deliveries on the conflict in Ukraine.
