<p>The Association of Families of Defenders of Azovstal is deeply concerned by the news of the likely dismissal of the Chief of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, who also holds the position of Chairman of the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War.</p>
<p>This was reported by the Association of Families of Defenders of Azovstal.</p>
<p>“As an organization that is the most active in the public sector in the fight for the return of Ukrainian prisoners of war, we believe that such changes could harm the already difficult process of prisoner exchanges,” the statement said.< /p> </p>
<p>It is noted that Kirill Budanov, as the Chairman of the Coordination Headquarters, maintained constant contact with the families of the prisoners of the Mariupol garrison for more than two years. In addition, in 2022, during the defense of Mariupol, he took part in organizing the air operation of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, when numerous medicines, ammunition and personnel were delivered to the encircled units in Mariupol for reinforcement.</p>

<p>The Association of Families of Defenders of Azovstal emphasized that under the leadership of Kirill Budanov, positive changes were introduced in the work of the Coordination Headquarters and communication with the families of prisoners. In addition, changes in the leaders of the working group may suspend ongoing processes. Therefore, completing the work of returning home the fighters who defended Mariupol and Azovstal belongs to those who started it. </p>
<p>“With our statement, we ask the leadership of the state to do everything possible to support the structures involved in the exchange of prisoners of war, and not to sow discord and chaos among families by introducing changes that are incomprehensible to them,” the Association of Families of Defenders of Azovstal concluded. </p>
