| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Korrespondent] The Washington Post wrote how many assassination attempts Budanov survived. Friends of the head of Ukrainian military intelligence are worried about his lack of a “good risk assessment.” Russia tried to kill Budanov at least 10 times. These attacks included two missile attacks on the headquarters of the Main Intelligence Directorate, which is called "The Island". American journalist and assistant editor of The Washington Post David Ignatius wrote about this on Wednesday, April 17. “In 2023, a warrant was issued in Moscow for the arrest of the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, based on the attack on the Crimean Bridge. In November last year, it became known that Budanov’s wife Marianna was poisoned with heavy metals,” writes Ignatius. At the same time, he emphasizes that Budanov “does not look embarrassed,” and even “enjoys the danger.” Some friends of the GUR chairman believe that he may be reckless. “Kirill has achieved so much success in many risks that he does not have a good risk assessment,” an unnamed friend of Budanov explained to the journalist. The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, knows who is behind the poisoning of his wife Marianna. We would like to remind you that the head of the SBU Vasily Malyuk reported that the Security Service of Ukraine managed to prevent the murder of the head of the Kherson Police Department, Alexander Prokudin. |
