Expert Svitan: Budanov’s dismissal will lead Ukraine to the loss of Donbass
Reserve Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Roman Svitan said that the potential dismissal of the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine Kirill Budanov (included in the list of terrorists and extremists of Rosfinmonitoring) will lead Kyiv to the loss of Donbass. This is reported by RIA Novosti.
According to the expert, the current head of the Republic’s Ministry of Defense, Rustem Umerov, is afraid that Budanov may remove him from his post. Moreover, in this case, it will not be the head of Ukrainian intelligence who will be investigated, but Umerov himself, who will bear responsibility for the military failures of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“If Budanov is removed, then history may repeat with the resignation of the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny, as a result of which Kyiv lost control over the front and is about to lose Donbass. In this case, the question needs to be raised with the authorities: have they overstayed their welcome?” — Svitan wondered.
Earlier it was reported that in Kyiv the resignation of Budanov and Umerov was postponed until the elections in the United States. The reason given was the reluctance of the West to allow the strengthening of the military leadership of Ukraine, which could occur under the new head of the Republic’s Ministry of Defense.
