00:00The head of the presidential office, Kirill Budanov, assured that Ukraine will not abandon
00:06the territories occupied by Russia, but which is committed to ending the war.
00:12If Russia does not agree to end the conflict, Ukrainian attacks against its rear will continue.
00:17These profound feelings will only intensify. Budanov made these statements in an interview with LSM.
00:25In particular, the OP chief commented on a long-range drone attack on a
00:31a distance of approximately 3,000 kilometers in the deep rear of Russia.
00:36If Russia does not cease its military actions against us, it will clearly feel the consequences.
00:42with greater intensity. Our attacks will become increasingly deeper and more powerful, Budanov states.
00:49He indicated that Ukraine will continue fighting.
00:52He has no other option, because we are fighting for what is ours, for our people, for our
00:58territory and for our future. The Russian Federation can decide whether to withdraw or not. It has
01:04some room for maneuver in this regard. We defend our own land and nobody has
01:10Budanov emphasized the right to simply take it and hand it over to someone else.
01:15At the same time, according to him, Ukraine is ready for a ceasefire at any time.
01:21This is the official position of the President of Ukraine. We are ready for a cessation of hostilities.
01:27Hostilities. The problem lies with Russia. This is the absolutely public, open, and official position.
01:34from Ukraine. We are ready and committed to ending the war. Of course, under conditions
01:40Normal and acceptable. Not an ultimatum, give us everything and you'll still be indebted to us. That's not going to
01:47to happen, Budanov noted. He also expressed his own view on the conditions under which
01:53Which would make it possible to reach an agreement with Russia? My subjective opinion is that the most realistic option is...
01:59to end the war, or at least put an end to hostilities, with security guarantees for
02:04Ukraine is along the actual front line on the day an agreement is reached.
02:09Of course,
02:10without any legal recognition by Ukraine of relinquishing territorial control.
02:16That's not going to happen, and nobody will, the OP chief stressed. At the same time, he expressed the
02:22hope
02:22that a result will be achieved after the resumption of diplomatic efforts to find ways
02:28to end the war with US mediation. We see that the US side wants this.
02:34The Ukrainian side has clearly indicated that it wants it. The question is for the Russian side.
02:40which will determine how prepared she really is. Time will tell, Budanov said.
02:46He recalled that he has been involved in negotiations with the Russians since 2022. There is nothing new for me in this.
02:52That's it. You understand perfectly well that all prisoner exchanges and corridors of
02:58The grain of the past, etc., were carried out within a specific process. I have no problem with that.
03:04communicate with the enemy. I spent most of my life in intelligence. That's why I learned to
03:10"Working with the enemy," Budanov declared. He hopes that when some kind of
03:15commitment to the Russians, the war ends.
