War will definitely end, it's natural process - Head of Ukrainian intelligence
The war in Ukraine, which was unleashed by Russia, will end. This process is natural, states Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.
He noted that Ukraine is currently addressing global issues that will have decisive consequences for the history of the state and humanity as a whole.
“The war will definitely end, it is a natural process.
And then we will face other tasks that are no less important and no less difficult,” Budanov said.
The DIU chief added that “any movement forward is met with resistance,” and, in his opinion, this is normal.
“We are here and we will always be here. And we will overcome all enemies. Remember - you must always be the first, number one. Never try to be 'as good as anyone' or 'on par with the leaders', no - only number one,” he said.
Budanov's forecasts
The head of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, is known for his predictions about the course of the Russian war against Ukraine.
Some of the predictions made by the head of the DIU did not come true. For example, he predicted that the Ukrainian Defense Forces would be able to enter Crimea by the end of spring 2023. Budanov himself explained this by saying that Ukraine was “off schedule.”
In April 2024, Budanov noted that the coming period would be difficult for Ukrainians, but he hinted that it was a critical stage.
