Quote: "I don't endorse the assumption that this will be a long war. This is my personal opinion, based on the analysis of the data we have, first of all, concerning the enemy."

Details: Budanov said the Russians are incapable of conducting protracted operations.

"However, it's quite clear that you are right if you consider six months, seven months, a year, and you think this is a long time," the DIU chief said.
