On the eve of Radio Svoboda, Butusov said that this month he was mobilized to the ranks of the National Guard, but did not specify what his role would be in the NSU.
In the context of a recent post on social networks of the battalion commander of the 47th separate mechanized brigade, Magura, Alexander Shirshin, he noted that in Ukraine the system does not work, so journalists and servicemen of all levels communicate on Facebook and discuss problematic issues.
Journalist Yuri Butusov often, in particular on his social networks, writes about the problematic issues of the Ukrainian army. For example, in the first days of 2025 he wrote about the problems of formation, training of personnel, ensuring and functioning of the newly created 155th Anna Kyiv OMB. Or, in the fall of 2024, he wrote about defective mines on the front, publishing fragments of videos, which, he said, was sent to him by the fighters. These footage shows as a mine, not having time to fly out of the mortar, falls several meters after the shot.
