Budanov explained his statement about the turning point in the war, which should take place in August/Collage 24 channels

90 days of Ukraine's heroic confrontation with Russian invaders are underway. To expel the invaders from the territory of our state, Ukrainian defenders and defenders need a lot of weapons.

Recently, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, said that the active phase of the war should end by the end of this year, and a turning point should take place in August. In an interview with Ukrayinska Pravda, the official explained what exactly should take place in the last month of this summer.

Budanov on the turning point in the war

Kirill Budanov explained that by August the number of weapons supplied by Ukraine's Western partners should become “significant” . He added that from the moment of the announcement of the supply of weapons to their actual use against the Russian invaders, there are several stages that take time:

• the arrival of weapons in Ukraine;
• the acquisition of these weapons by the Ukrainian military;
• the beginning of their use.

Therefore, according to the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense , the required amount of weapons until August, unfortunately, will not be. Only in the last month of the summer it will be in military units and will be able to actively be used by our defenders and during hostilities.

That is why the turning point will begin. Because now we are sorely lacking in heavy weapons,” Budanov noted.

The end of the active phase

According to the head of Ukrainian intelligence, the active phase of the war should be significantly reduced until the end of 2022 and “reduce almost to zero”. This, Budanov clarified, is about the active conduct of hostilities – battles of the level that are taking place now, when entire settlements change hands.

By the way, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate added that the war will end with the release of our forces to the administrative borders of Ukraine. The official decided not to comment on the details of how the war will continue after the end of the active phase.

Recall that earlier Kirill Budanov, in an interview with foreign media, said that Ukraine's victory in the war would lead to a change in the political leadership of Russia . The official assured that Putin has several serious illnesses, one of which is cancer.

The invaders in Kherson forced the teenagers to destroy the memorial of the heroes of the Heavenly Hundred: they threatened with weapons/Channel 24 collage

The Russian occupiers forced the teenagers to destroy the Heavenly Hundred memorial in Kherson. They threatened the guys that they would kidnap them if they didn't stop crying with photos of the heroes.

Subsequently, the Russian invaders used the video of the teenagers destroying the memorial for their own propaganda. One of the guys who suffered from the actions of the invaders, Vladislav Bala, spoke about the whole situation during an expert meeting “Kherson region under occupation. Management, propaganda, repression”, organized by the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security together with partners.

Apparently, Vlad managed to leave Kherson, so now he can calmly talk about this incident.

The guys were just passing by the memorial

Teens were returning home when they saw that two men in black clothes were tearing down posters of the heroes of the Heavenly Hundred. One of my friends decided to film everything: he wanted to distribute it in pro-Ukrainian telegram channels.

During a secret shooting, a black bus drove up to the guys, from where armed men came out. They lined up the guys against the wall, checked the phones, asked questions about the war. Several guys kicked and threatened.

We were given a choice. I remember literally. One says: “Either we pack you now and take you out so that they won’t find you. Or you go and help tear down the posters. Everything was rude. They put weapons on us,” Vlad said.

The guys understood that their situation was too complicated, so they agreed to break it. Although, of course, they didn't want to do it. One of the occupiers started filming everything and saying that “Kherson has long been Russia”, that the guys are doing everything of their own free will and other propaganda nonsense. The invaders also forced one of the teenagers to cut off the EU flag, saying the “correct” phrases.

In the end, the guys were still allowed to go home. However, the phones were not returned to everyone. One guy was taken away because they saw pro-Ukrainian telegram channels there.

Vlad is convinced that this is definitely not a rare case when the occupiers distort everything like this.

I want to convey this information not only to the people of Kherson, but to all Ukrainians. I don't want people to think that there are many traitors in Kherson. I love my city. I love my country. I really want to go home,” the guy emphasized.

10% of Mariupol residents do not pass “filtration” camps/Channel 24 collage

Russian military force Ukrainians to go through “filtering” when they escape from temporarily occupied territories.

How “filtering” happens

In recent days, the Russians forcibly deported another 257 Ukrainians, including 30 children. Now they have been sent to the village of Bezymyanny. The adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, Petr Andryushchenko, spoke about this on the air of a nationwide marathon, channel 24 reports.

Further, unfortunately, they will face the same fate as other people who were sent there before. That is, if they have not yet passed the “filtration” procedure directly in Mariupol, then this is waiting for them now. After that, they will be “evacuated” to Russia.

The occupiers form groups, then the Ukrainians are taken to Taganrog, and then to certain depressed regions of Russia,” said the adviser to the mayor of the city.< /p>

What happens to those who “failed”

However, not everyone passes the “filtering”. According to Andryushchenko's observations, at least 10% of people who get the “filtration” procedure do not go through it.

“They are recognized, let's say, as dangerous for the Russian regime. And after that, the worst happens. Those who have not passed the “filtration” are arrested, then the person goes to prison or to Olenevka (this is a softened version of a concentration camp), or they are taken to” Isolation” (a prison for pro-Russian militants in Donetsk – Channel 24). Perhaps there is more than one such “institution” there, – Andryushchenko noted.

What happens in the “filtration” camps

• Lyudmila Denisova previously reported that Ukrainians there are subjected to many hours of interrogation, the Russian military checks their documents, phones, personal belongings, photographs and fingerprints.In addition, they are trying to find civil servants, representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, the police.
• Those who have passed the “filtering” receive the appropriate piece of paper.
• At the border with Russia, people are also searched, documents and things are checked.
• Interrogations can last several hours, but they are conducted by the FSB. Ukrainians also undergo procedures, I torture willing to leave for other countries through the occupied Crimea.

According to Polyakova, such a map is posted both on the OKKO corporate website and in the Fishka mobile app. It is noted that in the application you should choose a company among partners and pull up a card.

Telegram chatbot

We have now launched a pilot project where possible. Where there are long queues, our employees roughly calculate the amount of fuel available at a particular filling station for the number of cars that want to refuel. – said Polyakova.

According to her, if, for example, there are about 50 cars in the queue, and there is enough fuel for 45, then the employees of the gas station try to notify the drivers about this so that the drivers do not get nervous and save their time.
