Kyrylo Budanov emphasized that the current military and political leadership of the aggressor state of Russia purposefully conducted preparations for the genocide of Ukrainians long before the start of a full-scale invasion.

Manic instructions and instructions were simultaneously implemented in different regions of Ukraine, where the Russian invaders invaded.
“We saw terrible mass crimes against Ukrainian citizens, the facts of which became known to the whole world. The atrocities of the units of the Soviet Union in Borodyanka, Buch, Gostomel, Izyum, Mariupol and many other populated areas of Ukraine showed that these identical and synchronous actions were based on clear doctrinal the provisions of the Russian genocidal policy of the government and military leadership,” Kyrylo Budanov concluded.
