 <\/p>\n

According to him, the Kremlin continues to believe that it will be able to implement its plans on the battlefield, but such calculations are erroneous.<\/p>\n

“So far, I see that they believe that they can achieve their goal through military means. This is a false statement,” Budanov said.<\/p>\n

He noted that the fighting continues with varying success for both sides, but this does not change the overall picture.<\/p>\n

“There are some military actions: with advancement, without advancement, there are our advancements, their advancements. Strategically, it has long been in the corner,” the head of the President’s Office emphasized.<\/p>\n

Budanov also commented on the negotiation process, emphasizing that the main thing is not the fact of the start of negotiations, but the result that will be achieved.<\/p>\n

“It’s not so important how to enter this process; it’s much more important what to come out of it with. To come out of it with the result we need, we must be strong and remain united,” he said.<\/p>\n
