In Early Summer, Russia Will Advance in Donbass: Kyrylo Budanov

In early summer, Russia will make advances in Donbass, predicts Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate.

“The Russians will push a bit forward towards Chasiv Yar and move towards Pokrovsk,” he stated.

Budanov also emphasized that Ukraine currently requires additional volumes of artillery systems and ammunition. Commenting on the joint purchase of 800,000 artillery units by EU countries for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, he noted that he still does not “feel” their presence on the front line.
