Like Budanov and the GUR, they always manage to be one step ahead of the special services of the Russian Federation

Godges noted that the planning of the head of the GUR Kyryl Budanov and other representatives of Ukrainian intelligence contributes to the preservation of the initiative by the Ukrainian military at the front, who are currently restoring reserves and regrouping and preparing for further counteroffensive actions, while repelling numerous attacks by the criminal army of the Russian Federation.

What Budanov says about the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces

According to the head of the GUR, last year's counteroffensive by the Ukrainian military should not be called a failure.

At the same time, the head of the GUR expressed doubts that the DPRK will help Russia get rid of the shortage of artillery shells and missiles.

In particular, according to Budanov, the criminal Kremlin authorities are unlikely to be able to produce as many shells and mobilize as many people as they spend in the criminal war against Ukraine.

He emphasized that the Defense Forces have shown the ability to effectively protect the territories.

In particular, the head of the GUR promised an increase in "cotton" in the territory of Crimea occupied by Russia.

He noted that it is about air attacks, drone raids and sabotage operations.

Budanov reminded that during the past year special forces of the GUR repeatedly conducted raids on the territory of the occupied peninsula with the aim of undermining the logistics of the Russian occupiers.

In Brazil, 13 km of rainforest was cut down to build a highway

This is how local authorities are preparing for the event, which is expected to be attended by tens of thousands of people, including world leaders, in November 2025.

The Amazon plays a vital role for the planet, as its forests absorb a lot of carbon and provide biodiversity, so activists fear that the project, which is designed to relieve existing roads, contradicts the goal of the climate conference.

A few hundred meters from the construction of the future road lives Claudio Verecete, who used to pick berries in the forest and sell them.

The road also separates parts of the protected forest, which threatens to fragment the ecosystem and disrupt the paths that local animals usually travel.

"Land animals will no longer be able to cross to the other side, which will reduce the areas where they can live and reproduce," explained Silvia Sardigna, a veterinarian and professor at the university's animal clinic, about the potential dangers of the project.

In a comment to the BBC, Adler Silveira, a representative of the infrastructure department of the state of Pará, said that the construction of the road is one of 30 projects aimed at preparing the region for the climate summit.

Overall, Brazil's federal government plans to double the airport's capacity and build a new 500,000-square-meter urban park by the end of the year. Some local entrepreneurs agree that these projects will bring new opportunities to the city.

Scientists have previously warned that half of the Amazon rainforest could be destroyed by 2050 due to water shortages, land clearing and climate change.
