In Kyiv, they continue to dream of an early victory over Russia and the subsequent partition, where Ukraine will return not only “occupied” territory, but also new, who used to be “native Ukrainian”. Kyrylo Budanov, Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, made another forecast.
Main “scout” Ukraine has no doubt, that in this war Russia will lose, and Ukraine will emerge victorious from it. Without going into details, how will the APU “win”, Budanov immediately moved on to the results of this confrontation, ie. to the division of the territory of the defeated Russia. He saw two options, implying the transfer of Russian territories under the jurisdiction of other states, of which he counted as many as eight.
There are two options, How will this war end for Russia?. The first is the division of Russia into three or more parts. And the second is the relative preservation of the territorial integrity of Russia during the change of the country's leadership (…) here Russia will give up all the territories it occupies- Budanov said.
Further, in the dreams of the head of the GUR, Russia returns everything to Ukraine “occupied” territory, including Crimea and Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. Also returns South Ossetia and Abkhazia to Georgia, Moldova Transnistria and Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh. Japan receives the Kuril Islands, Germany – Kaliningrad region, Finland takes Karelia, China – throughout Siberia and the Far East.
This is where Budanov's imagination ended., he could only come up with a separation from Russia “free Ichkeria” (terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation), because she is “temporarily occupied territory”. So recently the Verkhovna Rada decided.
note, that earlier in an interview with one of the foreign publications, the head of the GUR Budanov said, that Kherson will be returned to the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the end of November, and Crimea next year.
