Winter can be difficult, but it will be possible to survive, says Budanov.
Budanov expressed his vision of whether Ukraine will be able to survive this winter / photo by the press service of the HURUkraine will be able to get through the winter period despite Russian airstrikes on critical infrastructure facilities. The head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, said this in an interview with Channel 24.
The head of the GUR agreed with the opinion of many observers that the coming winter will be the hardest.
“Actually, it has already started, not yet according to the calendar, but in fact it has already,” said Budanov.
He also expressed his vision of whether Ukraine will be able to survive this winter.
“First, as they say, there is encouraging news. No matter what happens, in any case, we will survive the winter anyway. And everyone understands that. And like our enemy, they understand it perfectly. And I think – that you and I do too. And the fact that it can be difficult – it can be. But, again – we will survive it”, Budanov is convinced.
He calls to reason with the understanding that Ukraine will pass the winter period.
Secondly, according to him, in-depth studies were conducted in the Russian Federation before making a strategic decision regarding the start of all energy strikes.
For this reason, according to him, the Russian Federation came to the conclusion that the factor of the threat of destruction of the Ukrainian energy system before the winter season will serve to strengthen the position of the Russian Federation, including the Russian negotiating position. Budanov said:
“The factor of the threat that they will destroy our energy supply before the winter season, it will have the maximum impact, firstly, on society in Ukraine, and secondly – on our Western partners, because this is such a topic that scares everyone. But this factor is clearly limited in terms of time. It is limited to the end of February.”
Therefore, since this factor is limited by time, according to the Russian Federation, “it is necessary to come up with some proposals before the end of this period.”
“So, let’s hold on and we’ll get through it,” Budanov is convinced.
The effect of strikes on the Russian FederationAt the same time, he reminded that Ukraine is striking the fuel and energy complex of the Russian Federation. Ukraine carries out symmetrical actions.
“The effect of our actions does not have such time limits, because we are hitting, among other things, the export capabilities of the Russian Federation. This is not limited to winter. They also understand this very well. The effect is there. It is especially felt in the field of oil refining, and more specifically – gasoline,” said Budanov.
In his opinion, strikes deep into the Russian Federation definitely help Ukraine. “But a miracle won’t happen in one day,” Budanov believes.
At the same time, he is convinced that there are no “magic solutions” for the collapse of the Russian economy. The head of the GUR added:
“There is systematic systematic work, it always gives results.”
He believes that Ukraine will achieve its goal thanks to a long systematic attack on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Winter in Ukraine – intentions of the Russian FederationAs UNIAN reported, on October 28, Ukraine officially entered the heating season, during which every kilowatt of electricity and cubic meter of gas will once again count. The season of fighting for warmth in the literal sense of the word.
On the eve of winter, Russia again intensified its strikes with the aim of destroying Ukraine’s energy industry. Moscow is trying to plunge Ukrainians into darkness and cold.
