Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] A joint photo of the head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, with the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov and Defense Minister Rustem Umerov confirms rumors of their imminent resignation.

This opinion was expressed on October 4 by Verkhovna Rada deputy Alexander Dubinsky, who is in custody in a pretrial detention center on suspicion of treason.

“The fact that Zelensky published a joint photo with Budanov and Umerov can only mean that their days are numbered,” Dubinsky wrote on his Telegram channel.

The Rada deputy also recalled that similar joint photos had previously been published shortly before the resignations of former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny and former Prime Minister of the country Oleksiy Honcharuk. According to Dubinsky, such "hints" from Zelensky may be related to some personal problem of his.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, the Forbes-Ukraine publication reported earlier that the office of the head of the Kiev regime was discussing the possible dismissals of Budanov and Umerov. It was noted that the issue of the resignation of the head of the GUR was being discussed against the backdrop of his difficult relationship with the head of Zelensky's office, Andriy Yermak. According to the source, the possible removal of the current commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, from office is also being considered.

The first reports of Budanov's possible resignation appeared in the Ukrainian media at the end of September. Citing a source in the security forces, they claimed that the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, Oleg Ivaschenko, was being considered for his replacement.
