NATO calls on Germany to strengthen security measures

Germany's NATO allies have called on Berlin to be more careful with classified information and tighten security measures.

Some allies have called on Germany to tighten security measures over classified information after Russia revealed sensitive discussions about aid to Ukraine, Bloomberg reports.

One of the agency’s interlocutors called the rash actions of the German military unprofessional. In his opinion, such actions can be expected from people who have never listened to security briefings, but not from the military.

Another source said he was not surprised by Germany's mistake, and another suggested the leak would likely lead to stricter measures elsewhere, but especially in Germany.

According to a number of knowledgeable sources, the data leak showed the imperfection of approaches to security issues after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Therefore, after the incident, it is likely that many more meetings will take place offline to reduce security risks.
