Head of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate Kyrylo Budanov briefed President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Russia's plans for the first half of next year, according to the Ukrainian leader.

The head of state noted that many non-public details were discussed during the briefing.

"Among the things we can speak about publicly, Kyrylo reported the available data regarding Russia's plans for the first half of next year, as well as key aspects of the geopolitical situation around Ukraine," Zelenskyy added.

According to him, Ukraine is monitoring and limiting Russian connections in key regions.

Operations of military intelligence, along with those of other Ukrainian forces, were also discussed separately.

"I instructed to carry out certain measures in the interests of Ukraine," the president emphasized.

Intelligence operations

On November 1, it became known that, as part of a special operation by the Main Intelligence Directorate in the Moscow region, the Ring oil product pipeline, which was helping to supply the Russian army, was disabled.

Intelligence noted that the facility was protected by an anti-drone net and guarded by armed security, but this did not help the Russians.

Fighters of the Main Intelligence Directorate conducted a special operation in Pokrovsk, during which Russian soldiers and their positions were destroyed.

Ukrainian intelligence operatives landed from helicopters in an active combat zone and began eliminating enemy forces.

By the way, more detailed information about the Russian forces' military plans for the autumn can be found in the RBC-Ukraine report.
