Germany has admitted the apparent hack by Russia of a military meeting where officers discussed giving Ukraine long-range missiles - and possible targets.

Audio of the video-conference meeting was posted to social media by the head of Russia’s state-run RT channel.

    In response to this hacking, Germany should actually give Ukraine these missiles and plenty of Russian targets to aim them at.

      The Lithuanian foreign minister has summed up the situation rather well with this Tweet.

      " Putin is prepared to cross borders, subvert democratic governments, ignore treaties and rewrite the past in an attempt to legitimise the invasion and annexation of his so-called “lands of historic Russian interest”."

      " And what about our response? We have taken every opportunity to declare what we are NOT going to do. We have imposed red lines on ourselves and announced them openly, while our adversary operates without any. "

        Wait, we’re talking about Russia, right? Sounds like the Republican party.

      From what I understand, our chancellor has long claimed that we would need to control the missiles ourselves, which would possibly make us a belligerent. According to these leaks this isn’t the case. This will increase pressure on shipping them to Ukraine so Russia may have shot itself in the foot once again.
