The Union of Combat Units of the Armed Forces published a statement in which it expresses support for the former head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine against the backdrop of attempts to form a negative image of Budanov.
The Christian Corps, the Union of Combat Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, expressed support for the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov. This is stated in a special statement posted on the organization’s official website.
"In recent days, the Ukrainian information space has actively tried to form a negative image of Kyrylo Oleksiiovych Budanov. Nothing will come of it and nothing will come of it. We know you personally. The units that today united in the Christian Corps have, for years, carried out combat tasks under your command," says the text of the statement.
The authors of the statement further recalled the most well-known operations in which, according to their data, Budanov personally participated in the planning and execution.
"For everyone we want to remind you: under Kyrylo Budanov’s command, our fighters returned to the Boyko heights, occupied since 2015 year — he personally planned this operation. We went to Cape Tarkhankut at night on 24 August 2023, when the state flag of Ukraine rose over occupied Crimea for the first time since 2014 year. We moved to the left bank of the Dnipro near Nova Kakhovka, to the Kinburn Spit, to the Crimean coast — and there, about which we still cannot speak aloud. And in the raids on the HraiVoronsky direction, as we have already publicly told, Kyrylo Oleksiiovych was not in an office but next to us. We also want to remind you of events of 2016 year when he personally led a group of five special-purpose officers near Dzhankoy, from which they returned swimming through the Sivash — eight kilometers! Then, when the world seemed to have reconciled with the loss of Crimea, this operation put the issue of the peninsula back on the agenda. Much of what he did for the state will remain classified for many years — and that is precisely why it is so easy to talk about him by those who were never nearby," the statement says.
Also in the Christian Corps they gave a warning to the "sofa experts."
"Kyrylo Oleksiiovych, we are with you. And sofa experts and various kinds of experts should know how much you personally have done for Ukraine — and where those very experts were at that time. And even in an ugly history you did not turn away publicly from your former deputy. Hold on, Mr. Commander, we are nearby!" the authors of the statement conclude.
We remind you that it was previously reported that the Christian Corps is initiating a bill on employing veterans.
