Russia does not intend to drag out the war in Ukraine for years; on the contrary - it is trying to achieve at least some success and end it as soon as possible. The head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Major General Kyrylo Budanov, stated this in an interview with Ukrainian Truth.

"Russia is trying in every possible way to end the war as quickly as possible. But their military bloc is still trying to prove that "we can, let's limit ourselves to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, but we will definitely do it and stop it," said the head of Ukraine's military intelligence.

According to Kyrylo Budanov, there are a certain number of people in the Russian Federation who believe that prolonging the conflict is in Russia's hands, but there are also people who are convinced that it is in Ukraine's hands.

"The problem is that, in fact, although I hate all these Muscovites, there are also not stupid guys there. And they clearly understand that no one has time. The longer it lasts, the more and faster the complete destruction of the armed forces and the economy will come," said the head of the Department of Internal Affairs and Communications of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
