The military intelligence service of Ukraine firmly assumes that the fight once morest the Russian invasion will be successful. The much-cited strength of the Moscow military is a myth. You know exactly what your opponent’s plans are. By the end of the year, Kyiv had recaptured all occupied territories.
The head of the Ukrainian military intelligence service, Kyrylo Budanov, expects hostilities to continue for months. At the same time he shows himself in an interview Sky news certain that there would be a “turning point in the second half of August” and that the war would be over by the end of the year. Ukraine will then have recaptured all territories, including the Donbas and the Crimean Peninsula. According to him, nothing has changed in Russian tactics. Moscow is still suffering heavy losses. He did not provide any information regarding his own number of victims.
“We know everything regarding our enemy,” said the 36-year-old. “We know their plans, mostly when they are made.” The strength of the Russian military is a myth. Ukraine has been fighting Russia for eight years now. The much-cited power of the Russian military is a myth. Rather, it is a “horde of people with guns”. In the case of artillery attacks, many soldiers left their positions and would give up their equipment.
Budanov was also convinced that there would be a change in the Russian leadership in the event of a defeat. This process has already started. When asked if a coup d’état was underway, he answered curtly “yes”. Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin was in poor “mental and physical condition and very ill”. He has cancer and other diseases. Knowing this is his job, he said.
According to Ukrainian sources, Budanov has the rank of major general. He was accordingly appointed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyj by decree in August 2020 as head of the military intelligence service.
