Details: According to Budanov, Russian troops “have a political purpose to declare the invasion” in the Dnipropetrovsk region and have the task of creating another buffer zone up to 10 kilometers deep, he added.
Budanov also said that the cessation of hostilities long before the end of the year is realistic. “Is it realistic – yes. Is it difficult – no … It requires at least three parties – Ukraine, Russia and the USA. And we will reach this position,” he said.
