GUR of Ukraine: How Budanov's Intelligence Changed the Course of the War Against the Russian Federation.

According to FREEДOM: The Ukrainian military intelligence has become renowned for its successes in opposing Russian forces. According to statements from the National Committee of the Republican Party of the USA, published in Newsmax, it has transformed its forces into an operational hybrid group capable of conducting operations in high-risk conditions and influencing events on the battlefield.

'Budanov has turned military intelligence into a hybrid force capable of conducting high-risk operations, launching long-range strikes, and shaping the situation on the battlefield. All of this was tested in the first hours of the war when GUR units repelled an aerial assault on Hostomel Airport. Budanov created special units 'Kraken', 'Shaman', 'Artan', and others, and organized partisan networks in the occupied territories. He also led the International Legion, which attracted thousands of foreign volunteers', the publication on Newsmax states.

The author of the column paid special attention to helicopter sorties over Russian-controlled territories for supply and evacuation during the battles for Mariupol, successful operations in the Black Sea, including the liberation of Snake Island, as well as the enhancement of Ukrainian weaponry such as the maritime drone Magura.

Military personnel from the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine destroyed a Russian boat near Zhelezny Port in the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson region.

The information was initially disseminated on Freedom.
