The head of Ukrainian intelligence told when the turning point in the war will come

The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, said that the turning point in the war with Russia would come in August, and the active phase would end by the end of the year.
He spoke about this in an interview with Ukrainska Pravda .
According to Budanov, it is in August that Ukraine will receive enough weapons and will actively begin to use them in hostilities.
The active phase should go to the maximum decline before the end of the year. Russia has resources for conducting a normal war for 12 months, he noted.
As the head of the GUR stated, the war will end with the return of our occupied territories.
By the end of the year, we must at least enter the territory of the Crimea, - he stressed.
Budanov also noted that for the Russian Federation there are two options for ending the war. The first is the change of political leadership while formally preserving the territorial integrity of Russia. Then everyone will personally blame Putin for the war, they will withdraw troops from all the occupied territories around the world. The second option is the division of the Russian Federation into three or more parts. These will be new independent states.
