Budanov denied the loud rumors spread by the Russian Federation

The comment of the head of Ukrainian intelligence was made after the publication NV reported that the Office of the President of Ukraine, they say, intends to release Kyryll Budanov.

In addition, it was emphasized that this personnel decision was "lobbied" by the head of the OPU Andriy Yermak.

Journalists asked the head of the GUR about his relationship with the President's Office. Budanov emphasized that it is about the "usual working format".

Responding to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's recent threats to use new missiles against Ukrainians, the GUR chief said it was an attempt to thwart any attempt to end the war.

Kyrylo Budanov drew attention to the fact that practically all types of available weapons were used against Ukraine, from submarines to strategic aviation.

But I repeat once again: the Russians did not demonstrate anything fundamentally new.

Budanov revealed Putin's initial plan for Ukraine

According to the head of Ukrainian intelligence, Lieutenant General Kyryl Budanov, Russia was preparing for a new genocide of the Ukrainian people long before the full-scale invasion that took place on February 24, 2022.

The Russian occupiers planned to shoot and kill teachers of the Ukrainian language, literature, history, ATO veterans, journalists, scientists, writers, priests of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and other denominations who supported Ukraine, public and political figures, heads of state and self-government bodies.

In addition, it is emphasized that the maniacal instructions and guidelines were implemented simultaneously in different regions of Ukraine, where the Russian army was occupying.

We saw terrible mass crimes against Ukrainian citizens, the facts of which became known to the whole world. Atrocities by units of the Russian Armed Forces in Borodyanka, Buch, Gostomel, Izyum, Mariupol and many other populated areas of Ukraine showed that these identical and simultaneous actions were based on clear doctrinal provisions of the Russian genocidal policy of the government and military leadership.
