"We got out of the graph" - Budanov about the possibility of finishing the war in 2023

The Russian-Ukrainian war will not end by the end of 2023. The head of the GUR did not clarify the details, as most of the explanations "make state secret" and "not for public discussion". The head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense (GUR MO) Kiril Budanov asked why his forecast did not make a forecast for the end of the war this year, to which he stated that Ukraine had come out of the schedule. He reported this during an interview with "Ukrainian Truth".

"There are objective and subjective reasons - all in the complex. But, sorry, most of the explanations are state secret and it is simply not for public discussion. Over time, it will all become clear," Kirill Budanov said. He noted that Ukraine is not just lagging behind the graph, but struck from it, which is "a completely different interpretation. " However, in his words, not everything went to the screw.

"Let's give it all the clarification and clarification of this - we have come out of the graph - let everyone conclude," he explained. We will remind, Kirill Budanov stated that the war in Ukraine will not end by the end of 2023, and it is worth waiting for 2025-2026. In his view, the duration of the war will depend on the economic and technical resources that the Russian Federations and its allies have.

Budanov is also convinced that negotiations cannot be allowed, as they can end with the freezing of the conflict. Instead, he stated that a possible political resolution of the conflict-the conclusion of a bilateral peace treaty only after "the occupiers have left or at least begin to leave Ukraine at the borders of the 91st year. " On September 12, the head of GUR Kirill Budanov said that the Russian-Ukrainian war can only end with a return to administrative border as of 1991.
