It is noted that Budanov did not name the exact date of the liberation of the peninsula, but only assured that it would happen soon.

Budanov also stated that the location of Wagneites on the territory of Belarus does not scare the Ukrainian Defence Forces at all. He called the threat from Belarus unrealistic.

He added that there had been no increase in the number of Russian occupation troops.

"There are as many of them as there were. But constant mobilisation allows them to constantly replenish the losses they have suffered," he said.

Background: In September 2022, Kyrylo Budanov said that Ukraine would return to Crimea by the end of spring 2023.
