Budanov predicts when russian offensive actions would end

The decline of the active offensive actions of the russian occupation forces, which are ongoing now, will end in one and a half to two months.

This was reported by the head of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, in an interview for Forbes Ukraine.

"In one and a half to two months, the main thrust of the russian army should end, because the offensive has already dragged on," the head of Ukrainian intelligence said.

Budanov explained that, taking into account the practice of the ten-year war, the offensive potential of any side does not extend beyond two months.

According to the head of the Defense Intelligence, active offensive operations by russian troops are approaching three months, so after that some decline is expected.

"We know that after a recession and a slight lull, there will be new attempts by the enemy to advance. And we are preparing for that," the head of intelligence warned.

Budanov also noted that the further development of the situation will largely depend on the actions of the Ukrainian side.

"Are we just going to sit and wait, four or five months will pass and everything will happen again? Or we are going to act in advance," he stressed.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on August 6, the Center for Countering Disinformation at the NSDC of Ukraine denied the information about the alleged capture of New York of the Donets Region by the russians.

We will remind, the day before DeepState analysts established the first losses of russians as a result of fighting in the border areas of the Kursk Oblast.
