Ukraine’s strikes will become deeper and more powerful, emphasized the Head of the President’s Office. He stressed that the further course of events is directly related to Russia’s actions and its determination to continue the war.
“If Russia does not stop military actions against us, it is clear that it will feel it even more strongly itself. Our strikes will become deeper and have greater combat power,” said K. Budanov.
Thus, the head of Ukrainian intelligence implied that Ukraine intends to expand the capabilities of long-range strikes on Russian territory in response to the ongoing Russian military actions.

The most realistic scenario for the end of the war or at least the cessation of hostilities, according to K. Budanov, could be a stop at the actual front line on the day an agreement is reached.
“My subjective opinion is that the most realistic option for the end of the war or at least the cessation of hostilities – with security guarantees for Ukraine – is to stop military actions along the actual front line on the day an agreement is reached,” he said.
The former head of military intelligence emphasized that this refers to the cessation of hostilities without any legal renunciation of Ukrainian territories.
“That will not happen, and no one will do that,” he concluded.
