In an interview to BBC, Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence, shared his vision regarding the war.
Budanov said that Ukraine will face a very difficult period in the end of May. Besides attacks at the front, Russia will try to destabilize the situation in Ukraine.
Regarding an alleged second attack on Kyiv, he said that there is no such a threat right now.
The intelligence chief also commented on Telegram messenger saying ‘it is a huge problem for Ukraine’. He suggests registration of Telegram channels in order to make it clear who stands behind the scene.
Budanov stated that there has been about ten attempts to assassinate him and that his wife was poisoned.
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
