    I think there are some interesting aspects to this. First, is the info about french and british personell being active in Ukraine actually new? I think I remember reading about this quite often already some time ago but I don’t have any sources right now. Then the second one is, that shortly before the leak Scholz gave yet another explanation on why he doesn’t want to send taurus and it was actually quite a lenghty and detailed interview that was also pretty big in the media, in germany at least. And basically his arguments were that taurus requires german personell in ukraine which is too risky. But what’s said in the call actually contradicts this, the generals at one point discuss that with some training ukrainians could handle taurus on their own. So that’s good to know but also makes me wonder if the purpose of the leak was also to somehow hurt Scholz?
