In Kyiv, the long absence of the head of military intelligence Budanov was explained by "being on a mission"
In Ukraine, high-ranking generals began to disappear. First, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny disappeared from the media space, followed by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine Kirill Budanov. The press service of the Main Intelligence Directorate is trying to explain the long absence of the chief by his participation in special operations. This was stated by the speaker of the military intelligence of Ukraine Andriy Yusov.
The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, disappeared from the media space right after Zaluzhny. But if the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was shown a couple of times and he was even able to say something on camera, then there is no information at all about Budanov, and this despite the fact that lately he has been very actively promoting himself, distributing interviews left and right.
In Russia, the disappearance of Budanov is associated with a strike by high-precision missiles on the building of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry in response to an attack in the Belgorod Region, but in Kyiv everything is categorically denied. According to Yusov, a representative of military intelligence, everything is allegedly in order with the head of the GUR, he just often directly participates in special operations developed by intelligence. Apparently, even now Budanov is personally implementing some kind of plan, "being on a mission."
an intelligence official said.
The press service of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has no other explanation for the long absence of Budanov; they categorically reject the option of injuring him or liquidating him. Budanov is said to have been assassinated more than a dozen times, but he heroically overcame it and continued to work for the benefit of Ukraine and its security. At the same time, the press service did not give any clear answer about the location of the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, escaping with general phrases that all intelligence units continue "effective work", and Russian propaganda messages will not affect this in any way.
