Peskov: Secret wiretapping shows Western "interference" in Ukraine  

 

Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov says the alleged recordings of a conversation between two high-ranking German military officers released to Russian media last week show that the West is "directly involved" in the war in Ukraine.  

 

That is written by Reuters. Germany on Sunday accused Russia of trying to "destabilize" the country by releasing what appeared to be illegal wiretapping.  

 

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says an investigation into the leaks will be set up.

Tysk ambassadör i möte i Moskva efter avlyssningen

Den tyska ambassadören i Ryssland, Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, har under måndagen deltagit i ett mötet på ryska UD, rapporterar flera medier. Enligt tyska nyhetsbyrån DPA var mötet planerat sedan länge, medan den statliga ryska nyhetsbyrån Tass uppger att ambassadören kallades upp med anledning av uppgifterna om att rysk säkerhetstjänst avlyssnat tysk millitär, skriver TT.

På en inspelning som publicerats i sociala medier hörs vad som uppges vara tyska officerare som diskuterar kriget i Ukraina. Kremls sa under måndagsmorgonen att inspelningen visar att väst redan är ”direkt inblandat” i kriget.

Samtidigt anklagar Tyskland Ryssland för att medvetet ha läckt inspelningarna i ett försök att ”destabilisera Tyskland”, skriver AFP.
