Details: Commenting on journalists’ questions about General Naiev’s recent interview with Ukrainska Pravda, in which he stated that he had no information about a full-scale Russian invasion, Budanov replied that as of 2021, intelligence had already released data on the directions and methods of a Russian offensive in Ukraine.
Quote from Budanov: “Understand, if we made something public, it means that it [information about the invasion – ed.] had all definitely been everywhere by that time. Let me remind you once again: it [Budanov’s interview – ed.] was back in October, you can check for yourself, it’s available in open sources now.”
