Chief of Ukraine's Defence Intelligence Kyrylo Budanov gave an interview to Bloomberg journalists Daryna Krasnolutska
@DarynaKrasno
and Olesia Safronova.
Main points:
🔹 North Korea is supplying as much as 40% of Russia's ammunition for the war in Ukraine, as well as other weapons;
🔹 US support for Ukraine will continue "in the near future," and Washington may send additional air-defense systems;
🔹 Trump's "position is consistent, one should not judge him by media characteristics";
🔹 Budanov said a ceasefire must be reached as soon as possible and well before the end of this year.
"Is it realistic to do so? Yes. Is it difficult - no. It takes at least three sides - Ukraine, Russia, and the US. And we will get to this position," he said.
🔹 According to Budanov, "It's not realistic for Russia to seize all of the Donetsk region by the end of the year." Also, he said, Russian troops "have a political goal to declare that they entered" Dnipropetrovsk region;
🔹 "I don't see any signs our cooperation [between Ukraine and the US] in the security services will stop. This is not beneficial for us and not beneficial for our partners either, because they get information from us."
