"Have problems": the Russian Federation does not plan to wage war in Ukraine in 2025 - Budanov

According to the chief of military intelligence, the Russians "very meticulously" count their funds, which go to military aggression against Ukraine. The Russian Federation does not plan hostilities in Ukraine in 2025. This was stated by the Head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, reports LB. ua on December 14.

Within the framework of the discussion dedicated to future challenges and prospects for the country, Budanov noted that the Russian Federation has not yet planned the war in 2024. "I can only tell you: there are plans to wage war in 2025 in the Russian Federation as of this moment. Perhaps by the end of 2024, if nothing changes, they will adjust it. But so far, they have no such plans," - said he. The head of military intelligence stressed that the Russians also have problems.

According to him, the Kremlin is focused not on the opinion of its citizens, but on the number of resources, since there is a lot of money for the war. "It may be a little bit of a little, but we are fighting for other people's money, and they are for their own. And they count their money, although they seem not. And it is not very meticulous," - said Budanov. We will remind, on November 8 the Secretary of the NSDC Alexei Danilov stated that he would like the war in Ukraine to end in 2024.
