The ex-commander of US forces in Europe, American General Ben Godges noted that thanks to the planning of the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense, Kyryll Budanov, Ukrainian military intelligence is always one step ahead of the special services of the aggressor country of the Russian Federation.
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.
To say that everything is fine is not true. To say that it is a disaster is also not true... Although the initial plans called for something different, we fulfilled our promise. This summer, our units repeatedly entered Crimea, Budanov notes.
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.
These efforts put them in a better position than the one they were in after being weakened in the Battle of Bakhmut in 2023, Budanov notes.
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.
