“The most interesting question is where we are now. I want to hope that we are still on the way to a fundamental solution to our war, which, I would like to remind everyone once again, is the bloodiest and most terrible event and war in Europe since the end of World War II,” Budanov said.
He added that Russian aggression against Ukraine is one of the bloodiest wars in the entire post-war history of the world.
“We are moving. We cannot say that peace will come tomorrow, guaranteed. If someone says so, it is definitely not true. But a lot of efforts are being made,” the head of the OP emphasized.
As Budanov noted, efforts are being made by both Ukraine and the United States, “whether someone likes it or not.”
According to him, achieving success in the near future largely depends on the Russian Federation.
“You understand who we are dealing with. I don’t think there is any need for any extra words on this issue. To summarize […] I'm telling you straight, we're moving. And restrained optimism is the term that I would use to clearly define this situation,” Budanov concluded.
