Russian spies recorded a conversation involving top German military officers, WSJ reported.
The officials were discussing plans to send Ukraine missiles that could destroy the Crimean bridge.
That very purpose is one of the main reasons Germany has been reluctant to provide the missiles.

Leaked audio obtained by Russian spies and later broadcast by the Russian state-controlled news network RT on Friday shows that top German officials were discussing plans to possibly send Ukraine long-range missiles that can take out the key Crimean bridge.
