russia will be forced to withdraw its troops from the territory of Ukraine under the pressure of the Ukrainian army, internal russian political processes and diplomatic pressure. This was stated by Major General Kyrylo Budanov, Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, in an interview with Le Monde.

“russia will be forced to withdraw soon, otherwise it will quickly lead to the collapse of the russian regime. He has no other solution. The russians had the opportunity to calmly get out of the situation they themselves created. They didn’t want to stop. They chose a way of escalation.

Very difficult times await russia. The question about the political and security architecture of this region, which stretches from Eastern Europe to the Asian part of russia will arise. This could potentially change the political-and-territorial configuration of the russian federation. And it's not a matter of decades, it can happen earlier. The world does not need the russian federation as it is today, which threatens the whole world. And apart from the nuclear threat, russia has nothing else to offer. No one wants the threat. russia will have to change,” the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence concluded.
