“I also had a long conversation with Budanov today about our tasks and prospects, various scenarios. It is important to act actively,” the president said.

He did not give any details.

Zelenskyy also said that he had heard a report from Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyy on the front and the Kursk operation. He also thanked the Special Operations Forces for the effective defeat of Russian soldiers and equipment.

“There is something to note about our brigades, especially the 225th separate assault battalion – they are bravely and persistently destroying the enemy, as well as the 82nd separate airborne assault brigade – well done, guys,” the Head of State noted.

The President emphasized that it is important that every day gives us new results and such results are enemy losses.

In late December, Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Budanov said that in 2025 we will see a lot of good events that will eventually “bring us what we have been waiting for.”

“Last year, a journalist asked me what my expectations were for 2024. And I said quite honestly that, unfortunately, 2024 would be a very difficult year. I am much more optimistic about 2025. 2025 will definitely be better than this year,” Budanov said.

It should be noted that the media recently reported that Budanov warned MPs about the threat to Ukraine’s existence. He allegedly said that if there are no negotiations by the summer, then “very dangerous processes for the very existence of Ukraine may be launched.” The GUR said that this information is not true.
