How many times they tried to kill Budanov
The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kyrylo Budanov, revealed how many times they tried to kill him. This refers to the number of attacks since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion.
Budanov admitted this in an interview with Natalya Moseichuk, which can be viewed on YouTube.
'Honestly? I don't even know. Such a truthful answer. I don't know the exact number. Definitely more than ten. Frankly speaking, I think around twenty'
He added that since 'we bring death to our enemies, it is normal that the enemy tries to respond in kind.'
Recall that Budanov expressed his opinion about the large-scale armament of the Russian army by 2036. Russia is preparing for a possible war against NATO.
Earlier, the head of the GUR confirmed that the Kremlin plans to spend about 1.1 trillion USD on armaments for the army.
During the interview, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate spoke about how often his life was in danger due to assassination attempts. He also noted that Russia is actively preparing its army for a possible confrontation with NATO, allocating significant funds for this purpose.Read also
