Attacks on important infrastructure facilities in various cities of the Russian Federation may significantly increase. This was stated by the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov in an interview with CNN.


Budanov said that there are more than half a million Russian soldiers in the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine, but he does not see much potential for their rapid movement to the front line.


According to the GUR chief, attacks on Russian infrastructure may intensify, and he did not rule out Ukraine's involvement in drone attacks in Russia, considering such operations "quite possible."


"Hypothetically, there is a plan according to which all this is happening. And I believe that this plan includes all major critical infrastructure facilities and military infrastructure facilities of the Russian Federation," Budanov said.


He noted that now the people of Russia are finally "seeing the real picture (of the war - ed.). They see burning oil depots, destroyed buildings at factories and plants, etc. It's all good."
