Career of the end of the war: Budanov told about the decisive battle between Ukraine and the Russian Federation
The head of GUR noted that Russia has spent a huge amount of human resources, weapons and materials. "Its economy and production are unable to cover these losses. It has changed its military subordination," he said. Also, according to Budanov, the war will not end until the Ukrainian Crimea on the Black Sea is liberated from Russia.
He rejected proposals for a truce of some influential public and political figures in the West, who claim that, by giving more and more heavy weapons to Ukraine, NATO risks getting involved in a wider war with the Russian Federation. "This conflict has already grown into an existential war between Russia and the West. Yes, the event does not participate in this war with their military. But they give us weapons so we can use it in battle. Victory over Russia is a common victory.
And if Ukraine will fall - although it is unlikely - it is the defeat of the whole Western civilization, " - said Budanov. Budanov also said that China was not considering armaments for Russia. According to GUR, Russia tries to buy "anything and anywhere" because it has significant problems with weapons. However, some countries have decided to refuse such a service, including Serbia. In addition, he said, 40% of all Ukrainians in the captivity of the Russian Federation are civil.
