 The head of the main directorate of intelligence of the Ministry of Defense, Kirillow Budanov, has suggested that the strikes on Russian airbases will be deeper and deeper. In an interview with ABC News that went viral on social media, Budanov said there would be more attacks on Russian bases. However, he did not acknowledge that Ukraine was behind the strikes on the Russian military base. At the moment, I cannot answer that question. Only after the end of the war, Budanov said, while responding to the interviewer's question, he added that he was happy to see these attacks. Asked whether there would be strikes on the Crimea peninsula that was annexed by Russia in 2000, Budanov reminded that Crimea is Ukraine territory, and we can use any weapon in our territory. Ukraine carried out large-scale strikes that it said killed hundreds of Russian troops in eastern Donetsk and Kursan regions on New Year's Eve. Russia has stepped up its drone attacks against Ukraine recently, with Moscow launching attacks on cities and power stations across the country over the past three nights.
