When Will the War End — Budanov's Opinion

In a comment to Novini.LIVE, Budanov expressed his belief that the war will conclude this year.

He suggested that Russia needs a "breather" — a ceasefire, and another reason is the high cost of the war for the RF.

It is worth noting that Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga stated that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has set the goal to end the war this year.

Additionally, the head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak responded to whether Ukraine is considering territorial concessions.
