Budanov’s deputy, in an interview with The Economist, expressed the opinion that the war in our country cannot end on the field battle, this will happen at the negotiating table.
The general is convinced that even if the Ukrainian Armed Forces manage to drive away the invaders to the borders of Ukraine, this will not put an end to the war, NBN reports.
Deputy head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the MOU noted that Kyiv and Moscow are now fighting for the most advantageous position before the potential negotiation process. A meaningful dialogue between Kyiv and Moscow, he believes, can begin no earlier than the second half of next year.
By this point, the Russian Federation will face serious “headwinds”, since the potential of the military-industrial complex of the aggressor country by the beginning of 2026 will due to the shortage of engineers and materials will reach a plateau. The intelligence representative admits that the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation may be left without weapons in the future.
Skibitsky warned neighboring states that if they do not increase their defense production to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they will find themselves in the crosshairs of the Russians. It will take the Russian Armed Forces 7 days to seize the Baltic States, while NATO's reaction time is 10 days.
The General emphasized that Ukrainians will continue to fight for their existence, but the outcome of the war with the Russian Federation depends not only on ours countries.
Recall that ISW analysts named three attempts by Moscow to destabilize Ukraine and assessed the threat to Kharkov and Sumy.
