Ukrainian blogger and political expert Mykhailo Schneider explained why the meetings of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky with the head of Ukrainian intelligence Kyrylo Budanov are so important. According to him, the head of the GUR constantly keeps the head of state updated on the real state of affairs.Schneider noted that Kyrylo Budanov regularly informs President Volodymyr Zelensky about the true state of things both in the international context and in Ukraine."Yesterday, President Zelensky met with GUR Chief Kyrylo Budanov to discuss the vulnerabilities of Russia and the process of exchanging prisoners. For those interested in more details, I will leave a link in the first comment. But, in my opinion, this is a very good sign. Because it seemed like a regular working meeting, but such meetings between the head of state and the head of GUR are very and very important," Schneider emphasized.According to the expert, it is crucial that during these difficult times Ukraine is experiencing, the president has access to reliable information."Budanov essentially is the main 'channel' that connects the president to reality, as he leads a critically important intelligence agency, has vast flows of information, and plans special operations. It is Budanov who sees the complete picture: the situation at the front, in enemy rear areas, and what is being done to counter enemy disinformation campaigns," added the blogger.Schneider also emphasized that without proper understanding of the weak points both in Russia and in Ukraine, our country will not be able to act effectively. That is why such meetings have great strategic weight and are important for the state.Currently, Volodymyr Zelensky has shared details of his conversation with Kyrylo Budanov, and Budanov himself expressed his opinion regarding the situation on the battlefield and the actions of Russian troops.In summary, the meeting between Zelensky and Budanov demonstrates the importance of the president adhering to state policies and interacting with heads of intelligence services for effective operation in difficult conditions.
