The Russian occupation troops are suffering crazy losses near Bakhmut in the Donetsk region. At the same time, protests in Russia are not possible, since more than 70% of Russians support the war against Ukraine.

This was stated by the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov in an interview during the national telethon. According to him, the situation in Bakhmut is not catastrophic – a catastrophe with the city itself and the destruction inflicted by the invaders (the video of the conversation is posted at the bottom of the news).

“There is a catastrophe in the city itself. As a city, it no longer exists. Some areas are definitely not subject to restoration. It is easier to build from scratch than to rebuild. The occupiers have made another whole city unusable,” said the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate.

Budanov called positive the fact that the Russian troops threw all their forces into the assault on Bakhmut.

“They are suffering huge losses there,” Budanov said, adding that in order to support their offensive potential, the Russian command is constantly sending new waves of mobilized people to the Bakhmut direction.

According to the head of military intelligence, anti-war protests in the Russian Federation are impossible.

“Protests cannot take place in Russia, this is unrealistic. Those who say that people there will see the light and will come out, will not come out and will not see the light. First, you need to understand that the Russians really support this war. It was more than 80%, and yes, the percentage has fallen a little to 70%, but it doesn’t change anything. The Russians support this war because they believe in their propaganda, it is bursting at the seams, but this fracture in the brain is driving them crazy, they don’t understand what’s going on,” the head of the GUR explained.

Budanov added that it is “very easy for Russians to transfer responsibility for their social problems to the collective West, which does not allow Russia to “live normally,” and to Ukraine, which “wants to destroy them all.”

As OBOZREVATEL reported, Budanov predicted that 2023 would bring joy to Ukrainians and victory in the war with Russia . At the same time, he warned that even reaching the borders of 1991 would not yet be the end of all processes.

  1. “Budanov called positive the fact that the Russian troops threw all their forces into the assault on Bakhmut.”

    Indeed, that gives the AFU a chance to achieve another record for Cargo 300s.

    “The Russians support this war because they believe in their propaganda”

    For a dictatorship to prepare its sheep for a (useless) war, it first amputates any form of free thinking, drowns them with lies, 24/7, 365 days a year and removes any freedom of speech or the right to protest. It’s an easy task for a people who enjoy being kicked and abused slaves.

    • Its ok, their believing Kremprop will just make their fall even harder and the shock even deeper. The truth will visit them sooner or later. It seems to me they really need a hard fall so they have a better chance to make changes. If they choose to blindly support their Fuhrer throughout the court proceedings and massive funerals than they will continue to be the misfit Moskali they’ve been for 300 years and the butt of jokes and policy for another 300 years.

      • I wish for mafia land the hardest possible fall, despite what Macron or Biden may think. Mafia land deserves nothing less.
