“Freezing” the war with Russia will mean recognition of the occupation of Ukrainian territories. Therefore, Ukraine will never take such a step.
This was stated by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov in an interview CBC News. According to him, the Russians would be very happy to freeze everything as it is now, forcing Ukraine to “recognize the captured territory as Russian.”
“In this case, they would celebrate victory. This will never happen,” he emphasized.
At the same time, Budanov admitted that Russia was somehow able to obtain secret information about Ukraine’s plans for a counteroffensive.
“I won’t say more than the president. We have received, say, information, evidence that the plans became known to Russia. This is a serious problem, and we are taking certain measures,” added the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region.
