Share: In February of this year, the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, hoped that hostilities could end by the end of 2025, but now the intelligence has a slightly different opinion. According to Vadym Skibitskyi, deputy head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, there were certain prerequisites for this, but intelligence is operating on the facts that exist today, and it is premature to talk about the end of the war.

He stated this in a comment to Novosti. LIVE on the sidelines of the "Energy That Holds Ukraine" forum. "The Russian Federation is clearly developing plans for the occupation of our territories, and they provide for an active military winter campaign," Skibitsky emphasized. To the journalist's clarifying question about possible real negotiations on the real end of the war, Deputy Budanov answered: "We will look at the results of the work of our politicians.

" Earlier, Skibitsky pointed out that Russia changed the tactics of attacks on Ukraine in order to create a "sanitary zone". "We expected that the Russians would start attacking our energy sector, TPPs, with the onset of frost, just before the winter season. But this year there is something special. The Russians started from our border regions: Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv regions," he explained.
