Budanov: It is realistic to establish a ceasefire as soon as possible and by the end of the year
The HUR chief said that Ukraine, Russia and the United States are needed to establish such a truce

The head of military intelligence Kyrylo Budanov said that a ceasefire in the Russian-Ukrainian war is realistic to achieve as soon as possible and long before the end of 2025. He told this in an interview with Bloomberg,
According to Budanov, the truce should be established "as soon as possible and well before the end of this year."
"Is it realistic to do so – yes. Is it difficult – no," emphasized the Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR).
He noted that such a truce would require at least three parties – Ukraine, Russia and the United States.
"And we will get to this position," the intelligence chief summarized.
- Back in March, Ukraine agreed to an American proposal for an unconditional ceasefire for 30 days. However, Russia continues to refuse such a truce. For example, on July 3, during his last phone call with Trump, dictator Putin said that he would not give up his demands on Ukraine.
