The Ukrainian spymaster who Putin wants dead | Kyrylo Budanov | Stories of Our Times

Major-General Kyrylo Budanov is the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence. The 37-year-old has enjoyed a meteoric rise to become the country's youngest military intelligence chief. Russia believes that he is lying in a coma in Germany following a missile strike on his headquarters - but he’s actually alive and ready to take ‘direct action’ against his enemies.

Budanov is the definition of badass, that’s why he’s the youngest spy chief it’s purely on merit. It’s always interesting hearing opinions on his view of Russia and what it will take to defeat Putin’s barbaric regime. Personally I think he’s right, even if the AFU pushed Russian armed forces to the Russian border today it wouldn’t stop Putin bombing and terrorising civilians because that’s all he’s got left to hold his regime together. Putin’s regime must be defeated, it’s more important than defeating his armed forces.

@@LisaNH934 You don't find it odd that there is not a single news story about Russian forces winning anything anywhere in western media.

You know there's an old saying that says beware those who try to convince you too much of something there might be a reason. Obviously my question was redundant as all that's needed to convince you is to pitch a story to pull on your heartstrings and you buy in.

It's amusing how so many journalists, mainly British, like Anthony Lloyd, make fatalistic claims for the future of Ukraine that are repeatedly proved wrong - such that Ukraine has lost or is losing and won't get back Eastern Ukraine.

If I want to know the future, I'll ask a fortune teller.

[@robertmiskey5502]

There are so many media experts and arm chair generals that have been continually proved wrong. There is no substitute for will to defend your country

[@fireteamomega2343]

It's still pretty likely that they won't get back most of it because a majority of people in those regions are pro Russian just like Crimea. Believe it or not Russia is in a good position they're not advancing just defending. Ukraine floods in and loses many men and equipment in return may take one or two small unsubstantial villages as a reward. Meanwhile the West keeps pumping money at a wall or rather an iron curtain hoping it will break while Russia just sits back and weathers the storm... it's ridiculously unsustainable.

Budanov sounds intrepid. Russia has made the mistake of choosing an enemy that can swim through their population like pike through a fishpond.

I'm no military expert, but it seems to me that a direct strike at Moscow by Ukraine, a la Prigozhin's example, could put an immediate end to this war. Using captured Russian vehicles and Russian uniforms, etc., it would be difficult for Moscow to know these were actually Ukrainians, and we've seen that their response would be minimal.

If the Kremlin were a child, they would be the dumbest kid in class.

Attacking in false uniform is, I believe, a warcrime. Anyone caught doing so can be executed on the spot as an enemy spy, no right to treatment as a PoW.

[@virginiaoflaherty2983]

You certainly are not. Engaging in attacks while wearing the uniform of the enemy is flatly prohibited, as affirmed in the treaty law and numerous military manuals (see here, here and here, for example), and is a war crime under the Rome Statute.
