photo: Office of the President. The international publication Al Jazeera analyzed Kirill Budanov's military career, achievements, and political prospects, naming him as one of the possible contenders for the presidency of Ukraine. This was reported by Ukrainian News.
In the article, journalists recalled Budanov's involvement in special operations, including operations in the occupied Crimea. A separate emphasis was placed on the efficiency of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR) under his leadership.
In particular, it mentions operations using marine drones against the Russian Black Sea Fleet, after which Russian ships were forced to leave the occupied Crimea.
According to data from the sociological group 'Rating,' cited by the journalists, Budanov is trusted by 53% of Ukrainians. Thus, Al Jazeera considers Budanov among the potential presidential candidates in the context of discussions about holding elections in Ukraine.
As a reminder, the American publication Newsweek previously published a piece about possible successors to Volodymyr Zelenskyy as president of Ukraine. Among four potential contenders, Kirill Budanov, Valeriy Zaluzhny, Mykhailo Fedorov, and Petro Poroshenko were listed.
