Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence chief: Ukraine to face threatening prospects if negotiations don’t start by summer
Pravda Ukraine
Kyrylo Budanov, Head of Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence (DIU), has warned that without serious negotiations to end the war by summer, Ukraine could face dangerous developments.
Source: Budanov during a closed meeting with parliamentary faction leaders and military command representatives, as cited in an Ukrainska Pravda’s article titled “Trump, war, elections: what will shape Ukraine’s new political season”
Details: Ukrainska Pravda sources reported that a closed meeting was recently held in Ukraine’s parliament with the Verkhovna Rada leadership, party factions, and officials from the defence forces command. The MPs sought an update on the actual situation of the war.
One participant, speaking anonymously, shared their thoughts with a UP journalist.
Quote: “At first, the General Staff representatives spoke at length, in a rather complex manner, but it was very insightful. Then, there were other reports. However, what stood out the most was Budanov’s response. Someone asked him how much time we have left. Kyrylo, with his calm smile, replied: ‘If there are no serious negotiations by summer, dangerous processes could unfold, threatening Ukraine’s very existence…’
Everyone exchanged uneasy glances and fell silent. It seems like everything depends on things going right.”
