Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that media reports about Russia's alleged plan to attack Germany are nothing but fake news.
"I would not like to comment on the report of Bild, this news outlet does not hesitate to use fake news," Peskov told reporters.
Earlier in the day, German newspaper Bild reported that it has obtained a "secret document" prepared by the German armed forces (Bundeswehr) alleging that Russia has a plan to attack NATO's eastern flank after a successful counteroffensive against Ukraine and pushback of the Ukrainian army by June.

Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov offered no comment on a report in Berlin newspaper Bild that Germany is purportedly developing a scenario for a potential war between NATO and Russia, which is forecast to break out by the summer of 2025.
ReplyDelete"I would not comment on this Bild report," Peskov said, emphasizing that: "Recently, this newspaper has regularly stooped to publishing various fake news items and canards."
Earlier, Bild published an article claiming that the German Defense Ministry considers a "hybrid Russian attack" on NATO's eastern flank as one of the hypothetical scenarios for future developments. The publication cited a purportedly secret document marked "for official use only."
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, commenting on the latest Bild report, dismissed it as "last year's horoscope."
