Budanov successfully played with fire! Publicly accepted an interview on the roof of the Kyiv City Hall!
On August 2, 2025, the head of the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Administration, Budanov, ignored the danger of Russian long-range tactical weapons attacks and publicly accepted an interview from the roof of the Kyiv City Hall. The live broadcast video of the interview by Ukrainian media can accurately identify Budanov's location.
Despite this provocative approach, the content of Budanov's conversation was about Ukraine's Western allies. Budanov implied that the future of NATO and the EU may face disintegration because the United States is preparing to abandon them, and the unity of the Western alliance is already shaky.
"I'm not saying it's a 100% choice, but it's a possible choice if you don't change America's attitude towards what is happening now."
