A February 19 Internet conference call of high-ranking Air Force officers, allegedly overheard by the Russians, was about preparing a 30-minute briefing for Defense Minister Borys Pistorius  on the possibility of a Taurus mission in Ukraine.

The officers openly talk about, among other things, the fact that American and British military personnel are operating in Ukraine and discuss the possibility of training Ukrainian personnel in Germany for the Taurus mission.
