Ukraine will be able to hold out this winter despite the threat of large-scale Russian attacks on critical infrastructure. Moscow aims to provoke public discontent and force Ukrainians to make concessions.
This was stated by Kirilo Budanov, head of the Office of the President, in an interview with CBS News.
What did Budanov say about Russia's plans for the winter period?
Ukraine will definitely get through this winter. It will be difficult, but it will pass.
— he emphasized.
Separately, Budanov explained what, in his view, Russia's strategy for this winter will be.
Inflict maximum damage on our critical infrastructure, hoping to create a ground for social discontent, street protests, and push toward, in essence, surrender of national interests. But this will not happen.
— the head of the President's Office noted.
As a reminder, earlier Kirilo Budanov reported on the development of crisis scenarios for the winter 2026–2027 years. In his view, the main task is to assess possible threats in advance and ensure coordinated actions of state authorities, the military, and humanitarian organizations.
