Budanov: Russia wants to occupy all of Donetsk region by spring 2026, but that deadline is impossible.

They also try to move toward Zaporizhzhia and use artillery and drone terror to force people out. They used this in Pokrovsk, but Zaporizhzhia holds better.

Budanov: European leaders shifted when they saw Russia’s real plans against Europe, Russia’s assault on Ukraine, and the US message: defend yourselves or we won’t do it for you.

European budgets rose and factories finally started real serial production.

Budanov: Russia’s planning horizon for preparing its forces is officially until 2030, but they are now shortening that timeline.

After the war, they will have many people with real combat experience, and they need to use that potential fast — combat skills fade in 2–3 years.

Budanov: There is no magical solution. I study history a lot, and in every era, during wars that were huge for their countries, people searched for a “wonder-weapon.”

Two things always repeated: no one found it when they needed it, and it never helped those who searched.

Budanov: Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries, logistics and frontline energy facilities do have an effect.

These actions are symmetrical, but unlike Russia’s, our impact isn’t time-limited because we hit Russia’s export capacity. They feel it most in oil refining, especially… pic.twitter.com/fzFsxZb0BI

Budanov: Whatever happens, we will survive the winter — our enemy knows it, and we know it. It may be difficult, but we will get through it.

Let’s talk from that premise, not from the idea that everything is collapsing.

Budanov: There is a fact — a corruption case that became public, and in energy, one of the most painful sectors.

The anti-corruption bodies did their job: they exposed it and at least stopped it. The President reacted correctly: he removed the people involved, and now the court… pic.twitter.com/ibeTvCCgYz

Budanov: In negotiations you cannot take and discard a key factor. You cannot ignore the real situation on the battlefield or the social state.

A negotiation on ending hostilities is always multidomain — much deeper and wider than something like oil supply talks.

Ukraine’s Spy Chief, Budanov: The situation around Pokrovsk is extremely hard, but we are holding.

The operation was needed because Russia had already claimed the city was taken. Our actions bought time for the main units to reach and reinforce the city.
