Budanov announced "surprises" in Crimea and explained whether the Russian Federation received rockets from Iran (video)
The head of the department confirmed the use of the DPRK missiles by occupiers, but not in large numbers. "We promised that in 2023 Ukrainian special forces would be in Crimea and we fulfilled this promise. It was loud. The roar was heard in the Kremlin," he said. Budanov also added that "new surprises" in Crimea in 2024 should be expected. He also urged civilians not to use the Crimean bridge for security reasons.
Kirill Budanov believes that the Russian occupation troops have no strength to fully capture Donetsk and Luhansk regions in 2024. The head of Ukrainian intelligence has recognized a difficult situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but at the same time emphasized that Russia also has many problems.
The head of the GUR MOU noted that the following question remains open - whether the allies and partners of Ukraine will be ready to provide it with weapons and ammunition for the whole year, until the Armed Forces prepare for the appropriate counter -offensive operation.
