The head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense Budanov gave an interview to Forbes. The main thing:
▫️The great offensive of the Russian Federation, which was talked about, is already underway, but in such a way that not everyone sees it. Such is the quality of this offensive. The Russians have a strategic task — to reach the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions by March 31.
▫️Stocks of artillery shells in Russia have decreased to 30%, and the remaining missiles are almost exhausted. The maximum they can produce is about 40 cruise missiles per month. Therefore, Moscow was forced to abandon the ambitious capture of Kyiv.
▫️Decisive battles await Ukraine from the middle to the end of spring. And this will be a turning point in the war.
▫️Under Bakhmut, the invaders change their tactics. They are more inclined to throw infantry into battle, rather than working with artillery or other equipment.
▫️After victory, we must create conditions for a security zone around our border. A demilitarized zone, without weapons, with normal control. The zone of about 100 km, but 40 km would be quite acceptable.
▫️If we compare the 12 months of war with football, then the score is now 1:1, 70th minute. But this is my subjective view.
▫️ We have only one condition — to enter the administrative borders of 1991, we will decide everything else later.
