Lieutenant General Cyril Budanov said that Russia still sees himself an empire. However, in the Russian sense, three states are needed for its existence – Russia itself, Belarus and Ukraine.
Budanov said this during a discussion at the Yalta European Strategy Conference.
“Ukraine is not enough – without this existence of the Russian Empire is impossible. Therefore, she will not stop, ”Budanov emphasized.
He added that Russia understands that it is unrealistic to achieve a strategic goal.
“I will not say any incomprehensible things that Russia is not able to do anything, that everything is bad in them is not true. They move forward. This movement is not so significant, insufficient to achieve a strategic goal. So they need a pause. They need to restore their strengths, make “work on mistakes”, try to destabilize the situation here inside, and then they have a new window of ability to achieve their strategic goal, ” – explained the head of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
He also drew attention to the crisis of international law, which could not prevent military crimes at the Center of Europe.
“Scary things are happening at the geographical center of Europe. Forced to be displaced. People who live in occupation. Their millions. Hundreds of thousands of people suffer from war. Wounded, killed, tortured. Concentration camps exist. All this is. Yes, they are [росіяни] They do not call it “concentration camps” – they are just prisons, but which happens the same. How many people were killed in captivity. These are huge numbers. Every day rocket and drone blows kill ordinary people. The military there is a small percentage. Look at the objects where they arrive – what can be the military goals in kindergarten or in the shopping center? It all happens in the center of Europe. For three years, they all see a full -scale process, 11 years everyone see what this happens. So where is international law? Is it sleeping? Is it possible and did not exist? ”, – said Kirill Budanov.
Earlier, the head of GUR Kirill Budanov stated that Russia would lose the opportunity to become a superpower if it did not complete the war by 2026.
Kyiv in the first days of the war was to capture Russian paratroopers from Gostomel and terrestrial troops, which stopped in the village of Moshchun, told the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov
If Russia manages to occupy the whole of Ukraine, then its next purpose will be Poland, the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence Kirill Budanov suggested.
