Summer offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: Budanov told what key purpose the Russians are pursued

The occupiers can wait for the US elections and hope that President Donald Trump is probably re -elected by their achievements, said the head of the GUR MO Kirill Budanov. The armed forces of the Russian Federation can go on the offensive from June. According to the head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense Kirill Budanov, the purpose of the enemy is to try to capture Donetsk and Lugansk regions. He told about it in an interview with The Washington Post.

He noted that the occupiers can also expect the presidential election to the United States in November. In particular, the Russians will try to seize as many settlements as possible in Donetsk and Luhansk regions to the inauguration of the US President. According to Budanov, the enemy may hope that President Donald Trump seems to be able to ratify their achievements.

Budanov noted that in order to confront the occupiers, it is necessary to increase the cross -border attacks of Russian volunteers who fight within the Russian Federation with the support of the Ukrainian service and attacks of unmanned aircraft. "We have proposed a plan aimed at reducing Russian potential. It covers many aspects, such as the military industry, critical military goals, their airfields, their command and management points," Kirill Budanov said.

He stressed that the purpose of this and to show the Russians that their President Vladimir Putin could not protect the population from the war. "When you sit, say, in St. Petersburg, and you see a war only on TV, you will always support. … But people begin to be nervous when an object (falls-ed. ) Near their house," he added Budanov. We will remind, on April 17 military observer Alexander Kovalenko told that during the attacks the Russian military suffered great losses.
