Ukrainian President Kyrylo Budanov stated that strikes against Russian territory will become increasingly deep and powerful if Russia does not halt its hostilities against Ukraine. Speaking to Latvian Television, Budanov emphasized that Russia will feel the impact of the strikes more intensely. He affirmed that Ukraine did not initiate the conflict and will continue fighting for its people, land, and future.
Ukraine stands ready to halt hostilities at any moment, but the crucial question remains Russia's willingness to do so. Budanov believes a realistic option for ending hostilities could be an agreement along the existing line of contact, provided Ukraine receives security guarantees. He expressed no issue with communicating with Russia, as he has extensive experience in intelligence work.
Budanov also highlighted that talks involving Ukraine, the US, and Russia will continue, noting that both the American and Ukrainian sides are ready for negotiations, while Russia's readiness will become evident over time. Regarding the security situation in the Baltic states, Budanov noted that Russia is testing a hybrid approach in Latvia, and if they perceive adequate defenses, they may reconsider their plans.
