The head of Ukrainian military intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, announced that Ukraine will face a difficult situation starting in May. Budanov continued, "There will be problems starting from mid-May, as difficulties will begin on the front with the Russian army launching a major offensive in Donbas." Budanov indicated that Russia will follow an "integrated approach." Last week, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, acknowledged that the situation on the battlefield has deteriorated due to active Russian movements, which, according to him, have begun launching offensive operations amid warm, dry weather, achieving tactical successes.
