He noted that Budanov is highly active in his role, frequently making statements on peace and other critical issues. Reiterovych also emphasized that Budanov maintains excellent communication with journalists, further boosting his public standing.

Budanov’s high approval numbers reflect not only his effectiveness in carrying out his duties but also his ability to connect with both the public and the media.
