According to RIA Novosti, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev said in a public statement that Germany is preparing for a potential conflict with Russia. This statement has attracted widespread attention in the international political arena.
Medvedev elaborated on this point of view in an article published on the social platform "Telegram". He pointed out that although it is not clear whether the German political leadership and Chancellor Olaf Scholz were aware of the German officials' dialogue about the attack on the Crimean bridge, there are many examples in history where the military started wars or pushed for escalation of conflicts.
If the German side shoots down a missile in Ukraine and claims that the missile was originally aimed at Berlin, Chancellor Scholz will face a difficult choice. In the article, Medvedev writes that "this will be an important moment to test German-Russian relations." ”
Medvedev also stressed that trying to lightly describe the dialogue of the Germans as a "game of missiles and tanks" is a vicious lie. In his opinion, such rhetoric ignores the hostility and potential military action of the German side towards Russia.
At the same time, Sergei Tsekov, a member of the Crimean regional parliament appointed by the Russian side, also expressed strong dissatisfaction with the German side. He called the top brass of the Wehrmacht all Russophobes and deep-seated hatred of Russia.
This is not simple Russophobia, but a deep hatred. Tsekov said in an interview that "if they did not have this hatred for Russia, they would not have developed such a plan." ”
In addition, in an interview on March 1, the editor-in-chief of Russia Today TV, Margarita Simonyan, revealed that she had an audio recording in which the senior ** of the Bundeswehr discussed plans "how to bomb the Crimean bridge." She also revealed that the German officials mentioned the involvement of the United States and the British in the recording, and implied that they had long been directly involved in the conflict.
Simonyan later released the text and audio recording of the call. According to the recording, four high-ranking German officers were involved in the conversation, including the head of operations and exercises of the Air Force. They discussed in detail the delivery of missiles to Ukraine ** Taurus and the possibility of striking the Crimean bridge.
The recording caused an uproar in the international community. Many people believe that this is a direct threat from Germany to Russia and a serious challenge to regional peace and stability.
Germany has not yet made an official response to this recording and Medvedev's remarks. However, some analysts believe that relations between Germany and Russia have become extremely tense, and both sides need to reduce tensions through dialogue and diplomacy.
In general, both Medvedev's warning and the ** of this recording reveal the current state of tensions between Germany and Russia. How the two sides handle this situation in the future will have a direct impact on the political and security landscape in Europe and even the world.
