A leaked audio call involving German air force officers discloses British soldiers supporting Ukraine's use of Storm Shadow missiles, sparking Kremlin claims of the "collective west" direct involvement in Ukraine's conflict. The recording, confirmed by Germany, outlines Britain's on-site cooperation with Ukraine against Russian targets. Despite Germany blaming Vladimir Putin for the leak, authenticity remains unchallenged. Former UK defence minister Tobias Ellwood deems the leak embarrassing for Berlin, calling for diplomatic discussions. The revelation follows Germany's reluctance to provide Taurus missiles to Ukraine due to concerns about potential combat involvement.
