The briefing took place in Kiev under the leadership of the Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov. Together with Budanov, his deputy Major General Vadim Skibitsky, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Alexander Sirsky, General Staff, Major-General Andrey Gnatov, as well as representatives of the intelligence community joined the meeting.
The US side was acquainted with the current operational situation, the evaluation of Russia's plans by 2036, and the Kremlin's preparation for armed conflict not only against Ukraine but also against NATO countries. "The Kremlin's imperial ambitions are not limited to Ukraine - they cover the whole of Europe. However, with the support of the United States, we are able to stop Russia and negate its military potential," Kirill Budanov stressed.
The GUR Chief also thanked the US government and the US people for the constant political, economic and military support of Ukraine and added: "Russia only recognizes force - it is through it that we will achieve a sustained peace. " We will remind that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky met with a special representative of President of the United States Kit Kelloga on July 14. The parties looked at the ways of peace and specific steps that Ukraine and the US can take together to approach it.
