Ukrainian intelligence has its sources of information in the entourage of the president of the aggressor state Vladimir Putin, thanks to which it usually knows what is happening. The head of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov announced this in an interview with Reuters on Friday, July 14.
Budanov said the uprising of Wagner PMC mercenaries last month led to even more instability in Russia's leadership system. According to him, Ukrainian intelligence intercepted a poll of the Ministry of Interior Affairs of the Russian Federation, which showed support for Yevgeny Prigozhin inside the aggressor state.
"We have our own sources. In the closest offices (to Putin), so to say. This is why we usually know what's going on," Budanov emphasized.
Reuters notes that the head of the Defense Intelligence did not provide any evidence, but recalled the exact prediction of a full-scale invasion of Russia: "Who turned out to be right? Us," Budanov said.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on July 7, Budanov said that the success of the Ukrainian counteroffensive would be, but later.
On June 23, Budanov said that disputes between the Wagner PMC and the military command of the Russian Federation would help the Ukrainian military to quickly liberate the captured territories.
On May 22, Budanov recorded a video message to the military of the aggressor state of Russia with a proposal to surrender, because only death would be another option for them.
