What is known about the meeting between Budanov and Kellogg?

A joint briefing of representatives of the security and defense sector of Ukraine was held in Kyiv, chaired by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Rustem Umerov.

It was organized for the US delegation led by the US President's Special Representative for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg.

Kyrylo Budanov and his deputy, Major General Vadym Skibitsky, participated in the event together with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrsky, the Chief of the General Staff, Major General Andriy Hnatov, as well as representatives of the intelligence community.

According to GUR, Donald Trump's team was briefed on the current operational situation, an assessment of the Kremlin's plans until 2036, as well as data on Russia's preparations for an armed conflict not only against Ukraine, but also against NATO countries.

The Kremlin’s imperial ambitions are not limited to Ukraine—they extend to all of Europe. However, with the support of the United States, we can stop Russia and nullify its military potential.
