- Major-General Kyrylo Budanov is the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence. The 37-year-old has enjoyed a meteoric rise to become the country's youngest military intelligence chief. Russia believes that he is lying in a coma in Germany following a missile strike on his headquarters - but he’s actually alive and ready to take ‘direct action’ against his enemies.

Mr. Budanov. Putin dethroned? Yes PLEASE
🪦
Putin was ever on a throne?😂 Now he can't even go to South Africa for the B.R.I.C.K.S. summit😂
@@dpelpalisn’t silly ?
@@dpelpalAll , Putins , gold and money formed SSSR and Russia in Africa already . Now, can’t wait till he will be arrested in Africa !!!!!
Putin is the new Tzar who has a silly table rather than a throne. But he rules by divine right. What he says goes.
The BEST!!! to Mr. Budanov and since I’m a Christian Catholic, I send him my blessings and May the Lord give him a lot of fortitude, protection, and wisdom. Aplauso para el Señor Budanov 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼and thumbs up too 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊
The Kerch bridge is not in russia, it is in temporarily illegally occupied Ukraine.
Soon it will become fish habitat. Pretty expensive habitat, at that.
It needs to be severally destroyed, to stop Russian troop movement , Long live Ukraine💛💛💛👍
They could plant it up and turn it into an artificial reef. Might as well make the Russians give something back to the environment after the sh1tshow they caused when they blew up the dam on the Dnipro... 😎👍
i wish you have steady hand to eliminate the devil in russia,,God Bless Ukraine..
Should be in the sea,
Kyrylo Bunanov is THE coolest cucumber ever !!! Really Ukraine you are lucky to have him on your side !!!!
Putin still angry he cant take "Kyiv in three DAYYS!"😂
he's gonna take Kyiv in 3 daaayys! and then maybe _Berlin!_ 😅

@@nuttywalls8190 I aint the one screaming "Kyiv in 3 days" and then getting my army annhilated by a bunch of Ukrainian farmers with no weapons other than sticks and petrol bombs lol. Russian army is a JOKE
All his 'ingenious' so-called landing operations to drop troops on the left bank of the Dnieper turned out to be such a bloody failure that they will even go down in history. And this is not only about the bridgehead in Krynki, but also under the Antonov bridge and attempts
37 drones hit Odessa and that’s fair play, but two drones hit Moscow and it’s a terrorist act?
Somebody needs to explain “war” to Russia.
They dont get it. They are lunatics.
I know what you’re saying, but hitting Odesa isn’t fair play. Ukraine doesn’t hit their churches and grain silos.
And Russia started the war in the first place😮😅😢
---- > None of Russia's attacks are "fair play" they are war crimes.

Great guy! All the best to him!🇺🇦 ✌🏼
Budanov has always struck me as a very serious, intelligent, and dangerous person. Glad he's on our side!
I think he would be a great friend and your worst enemy. You dont want to be his enemy.
That is so true. Great he is one of us-Ausatralia
Don't lie to Kyrylo Budanov and don't play cards with Kyrylo Budanov.

I get the feeling he's going to spend the rest of his life on a Mossad-style global hunt for the people that have hurt his people.

You do not know what justice is.
And the entire world will applaud that hero.

On 21 April 2023, the Lefortovo District court in Moscow issued an arrest warrant against Budanov in relation to the 2022 Crimean Bridge explosion. Budanov commented on the warrant, stating, "I am pleased. This is a good indicator of our work, and I promise to work even better." Fantastic. Well done Budanov and Ukraine.
May the Lord be with him ,remember Lord is with you on the valley of the shadow.
Budanov is a legend at only 37!

He's a very intelligent and determined man. I wouldn't want to be on his badside
Budanov is the definition of badass, that’s why he’s the youngest spy chief it’s purely on merit. It’s always interesting hearing opinions on his view of Russia and what it will take to defeat Putin’s barbaric regime. Personally I think he’s right, even if the AFU pushed Russian armed forces to the Russian border today it wouldn’t stop Putin bombing and terrorising civilians because that’s all he’s got left to hold his regime together. Putin’s regime must be defeated, it’s more important than defeating his armed forces.
he is a bit of a predictor of things too. Now fair enough he has an intelligence department at his fingertips and we don't... but still. He could do with someone saying 'smile' when a camera is pointed at him.
Mr adams 👏
No, your delusional, the current Ukrainian government overthrew the democratically elected one in 2014 when this war started, that makes the current Ukrainian government the enemy of democracy, nato is supporting the enemy of democracy, while Putin is defending the democratic rights of Ukrainian Russians in those four regions! You have been suckered by propaganda :)
>Budanov is the definition of badass, that’s why he’s the youngest spy chief it’s purely on merit.
Haha yeah. He will probably make a great military dictator of Ukraine after Zelensky is gone.
True, a 1000 cuts will SLOWLY but PERMANENTLY destroy not only Putin but the Russian Federation!
I'm a disabled vet from US Army and I wish I could go help Ukraine.
What a great podcast! Budanov is one of the most important players in the war and this piece gives a very clear picture of him in all his ambiguity. I don’t fully trust him, but I am cheering him on!
i fully trust his intent. i never take what he says at face value, but i have no doubt he's on the side of Ukraine.
They talk about budanov. Not even one video on him lol😂😂
If Budanov says, "We plan to attack ruzzian forces holding Donetsk City next week," I as a ruzzian military leader would beef up troop strength everywhere else. It's Budanov's job to mislead ruzzia, not to disclose Ukraine's actual plans to the enemy.
@@CalvinMcCue1862 everywhere else, but also Donetsk. Because you never know, catch-22. And Budanov is doing a great job diverting attention.
Keep it up budanov. You are a hero. Putin can't make a precision strike. Russians can't fix a toilet.

The west are too afraid of provoking Putin into using nukes, not just in Ukraine, but also NATO countries'!
That's why for some of the weaponry the west is supplying to Ukraine. Ukraine has to promise not to use them on Russian pre 2014 territory!
Must be frustrating for the Ukrainians, especially, once they get the F16's doing missions!
@@LisaNH934
You don't find it odd that there is not a single news story about Russian forces winning anything anywhere in western media. Everything 24/7 is about Putin "the devil" and Russia is losing. So if all that is true why is there still an ongoing war ? You know there's an old saying that says beware those who try to convince you too much of something there might be a reason. Obviously my question was redundant as all that's needed to convince you is to pitch a story to pull on your heartstrings and you buy in. Don't bother actually looking into who benefits the most from weapon sales or the history in Ukraine that led to the war. Just focus on what MSNBC tells you to focus on.
It’s too bad that when the guy was describing the assassination of that submarine captain (at 20:00) AND talking about that app he was tracked from, that he didn’t mention that Budanov (or someone using his name) gave a thumbs up to that guy’s last run on the app prior to him being taken out. I found that to only add further proof that it was Ukraine’s GUR who was responsible, and a cheeky way of going about it too…
@@dreistein6018😊 It's clear there are neither good or bad men all over the world .
But the good ones suffers most and die first.
And it's so sad and that the bad ones in power force the good ones to become murderers. How can we stop this, and not only in Ukrania?

This man accurately predicted Prigozhin was on the edge and about to snap, long before any western spymaster notes. He easily read his enemies like he was reading a children book, media should kept him out from any unwanted attention and let him do his damn job quietly
good point however he know that good people will be happy see him though.

The frogs in Budanov's office are there to catch the flies, so as to ensure that there are no "flies on the wall". Man I love this guy!
Budanov is a man to watch. Ukraine needs people like him, his ability is very apparent. The russians want him dead. This is a strange compliment, but a good one.
Long life for Budanov! A very Good man.
Ukraine has a very competent leadership, which, despite a flakey partner in the West, has really outwitted and outperformed their Orc enemy. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 💪 🇮🇪

The West needs to give Ukraine everything it needs to squash the Russians. Putin will mysteriously disappear after that happens.
Budanov sounds intrepid. Russia has made the mistake of choosing an enemy that can swim through their population like pike through a fishpond.
Kudos! One of best stories to come out of this war.
Budanov scary.
“No vorry. Budanov takes care.”
Fantastic insight! Thank you

Excellent podcast!
Excellent report!!!❤
I'm no military expert, but it seems to me that a direct strike at Moscow by Ukraine, a la Prigozhin's example, could put an immediate end to this war. Using captured Russian vehicles and Russian uniforms, etc., it would be difficult for Moscow to know these were actually Ukrainians, and we've seen that their response would be minimal.
If the Kremlin were a child, they would be the dumbest kid in class.
Attacking in false uniform is, I believe, a warcrime. Anyone caught doing so can be executed on the spot as an enemy spy, no right to treatment as a PoW.
You certainly are not. Engaging in attacks while wearing the uniform of the enemy is flatly prohibited, as affirmed in the treaty law and numerous military manuals (see here, here and here, for example), and is a war crime under the Rome Statute.
Great analysis!
I like the dark as well bc I hate when people stare at my scars, besides that I'm a complete nobody compared to Budanov ... I once heard he never smiles, bc of all the things he knows; good to hear he smirks occasionally though.
I agree that this war won't be won on the battlefield alone, Ukraine's lucky to have this man, his GUR will hunt Russians after this war just like the Mossad.
It's amusing how so many journalists, mainly British, like Anthony Lloyd, make fatalistic claims for the future of Ukraine that are repeatedly proved wrong - such that Ukraine has lost or is losing and won't get back Eastern Ukraine.
If I want to know the future, I'll ask a fortune teller.
There are so many media experts and arm chair generals that have been continually proved wrong. There is no substitute for will to defend your country
It's still pretty likely that they won't get back most of it because a majority of people in those regions are pro Russian just like Crimea. Believe it or not Russia is in a good position they're not advancing just defending. Ukraine floods in and loses many men and equipment in return may take one or two small unsubstantial villages as a reward. Meanwhile the West keeps pumping money at a wall or rather an iron curtain hoping it will break while Russia just sits back and weathers the storm... it's ridiculously unsustainable.
This was a very informative podcast on a deliberatively enigmatic person. It confirmed a number of suspicions. I would love to have an hour of his time exchanging mentally challenging strategies and topics. My brain is bored and needs exercise. But I fantasize. Maybe after the war. I wonder if he’s an INTP.
Update: he's an INTJ.
Just curious, but how do you know?
As an INTJ, I have to ask :-)
@@ak5659 I did an exhaustive internet search using a variety of terms and phrases. I finally stumbled upon it and some other MBTI type system designation. I don't understand that system or results. I think it is European in origin.
As an INTP I had to find out and I enjoyed the challenge. 🙂
Thank you !!!
It’s been an insightful article, and I think you!😊
