Depends on resources: Budanov told when the war in Ukraine will end
Meanwhile, the aggressor country is occupied by the release of new tanks and drones, and the Soviet landfills are getting less and less old equipment. The Russian authorities plan to mobilize about 450 thousand citizens, although it hides its intentions, declaring autumn call. The head of the GUR MOU Kirill Budanov analyzed the situation in Russia and informed how long it would take the enemy's strength. The forecasts were published in an interview with the Ukrainian Pravda portal.
Budanov stated that the war would not end by the end of 2023. In his opinion, we should expect 2025-2026. The reason for this duration of war is the availability of economic and technical resources that are at the disposal of the Kremlin and all its allies. He is also convinced that peaceful negotiations cannot be allowed because Ukraine will receive a frozen conflict. Russia has time -limited resources, the head of the GUR.
In particular, the techniques will be sufficient by 2026, and economic strength - by 2025. That is, the resources of the Russians will "last long". In general, Budanov points to 2025 as the year of the possible end of the war - that is when Russia's possibilities are exhausted. On the other hand, there is no certainty that the Kremlin will go to the end. "All of them are fighting mobilized, there is a lack of ammunition, a lack of weapons," the officer said.
Currently, both Russia and Ukraine are able to fight solely with the support of partners, reminded Budanov. Russia, North Korea, Iran, Ukraine, the US, the EU and the rest of the civilized world help. But the production of weapons does not cover the cost, because no one in the world was ready for the war of such intensity. Budanov is convinced that "the aggregate cost of armament of ammunition is much greater than what can be done.
" It is important to prevent negotiations, because in this case Ukraine will receive a frozen conflict. This is a bad decision in view of the citizens in the occupied territories and in view of those who died, - the intelligence officer is convinced. However, on the part of Russia there are some hints at the possibility of negotiations, recognized the interlocutor of the UP.
Political solution to the problem, such as the conclusion of a bilateral peace treaty, is only possible when "the invaders will leave or at least begin to leave Ukraine at the borders of the 91st year. " It should be noted that according to the Peaceful Plan of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, Russia should completely release the occupied territories, including Crimea and Donbass.
In addition, the plan provides for the payment of reparations for destruction as a result of war and punishment of war criminals. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin called this plan "hostile" and suggested listening to the opinion of China, which proposes to recognize "territorial realities". Meanwhile, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu agrees with Budanov: I am sure that the Kremlin will reach the set goals by 2025.
