"Exactly ten years is a normal period to review everything and start preparing for revenge anew," he stated.

Budanov assured that Ukraine will have ten years, and if it becomes possible to influence the territories created by other means after Ukraine's victory, it may be even longer.

"But we will have a minimum of 10 years," he predicted.
