Liberation campaign for Ukraine on the

peninsula to this end Ukrainian

play05:06

share the location in order to receive

play05:08

their remuneration with tasks that are

play05:11

not too difficult Ukrainian partisans

play05:13

have established a vast intelligence

play05:15

Network in Crimea the Ukrainian

play05:17

authorities like the partisan groups are

play05:19

promising more buildup and attacks in

play05:21

Crimea Kira budanov Ukraine's military

play05:24

Espionage Chief said in an interview

play05:27

that Kiev will intensify its offensive

play05:29

against Russia's an next Crimea noting

play05:32

that moscow's economy is proving

play05:34

surprisingly resilient despite sanctions

play05:36

in 2023 the first Ukrainian attacks on

play05:39

temporarily occupied Crimea took place

play05:42

but this was just the beginning budanov

play05:44

said KIRO budanov added that Moscow is

play05:47

trying to establish a naval base on the

play05:49

Black Sea Coast of the Georgian

play05:50

Breakaway region of abazia emphasizing

play05:53

that the situation is becoming more

play05:54

complicated every day the Ukrainian

play05:57

military Chief said that the massive use

play05:59

of attack drones makes it impossible for

play06:01

both Russia and Ukraine to attack

play06:03

another Factor buinov noted is the

play06:05

unprecedented density of mindfields on

play06:08

the front lines since the second world

play06:10

war indeed the battlefield had literally

play06:13

turned into a bombing range everywhere

play06:15

the troops passed the risk factor

play06:17

increased the tension the Russian side

play06:19

was much more effective the fact that

play06:21

the Russian army had lost nearly 300,000

play06:24

soldiers since the beginning of the war

play06:26

clearly showed that Putin was the one

play06:28

who was affected killo budanov on the

play06:30

other hand said that despite these heavy

play06:32

losses Russia has endured a lot so far

play06:36

he said that he was surprised by the

play06:37

resilience of the Russian economy and

play06:40

that the current Western sanctions were

play06:41

not enough to force the Kremlin to

play06:43

change its War Behavior indeed the

play06:46

economy in Russia is currently weak but

play06:48

the country is not starving but of

play06:50

course we have to recognize that the war

play06:52

has deeply affected the country Ukraine

play06:55

May therefore need to intensify its

play06:56

plans to wear down the Russians there

play06:58

may be growing signs of War fatigue in

play07:00

Ukraine but budanov urged the West to

play07:03

continue supporting KV militarily

play07:05

budanov who has led Ukraine's gu

play07:08

Military Intelligence unit since 2020

play07:11

correctly predicted that Russia would

play07:13

attack Ukraine on February 24th 2022

play07:16

this is why budanov request to call on

play07:19

the west to help again is considered to

play07:21

be the only way out budanov also has

play07:23

very important assessments about peace

play07:26

there is a large group of people who see

play07:28

peace talks as the on way out but

play07:30

budanov insists that now is not the

play07:32

right time to negotiate with Russia in

play07:35

his view negotiations begin when one or

play07:37

both parties have a vested interest so

play07:40

according to him it is premature to talk

play07:42

about any significant Ukrainian interest

play07:44

at the moment in order to win this

play07:46

interest in Crimea the ukrainians have

play07:48

already set their goals Ukraine has

play07:50

repeatedly targeted Russia's Black Sea

play07:52

Fleet in Stile on the Crimean Peninsula

play07:55

the Russians were forced to move

play07:56

everything hastily to the southeast but

play07:59

what is important is what will happen in

play08:01

crime in the coming days and we will see

play08:04

this together in the coming days thank
