Kyrylo Budanov

I think we know the names of these people.

You have Zaluzhny's, you have Fedorov's and Budanov's and Klitschko's and all these names that get thrown around.

I think a lot of the replacing Zelensky is about putting pressure on on Zelensky to play along, more so even the Europeans and maybe even the CIA to kind of put pressure so that they can play along with the Witkopf-Kushner diplomacy or the ceasefire that they're trying to put together.

And so I think they throw out the let's replace Zelensky, which is something that the Europeans absolutely do not want, or at least the majority of the Europeans do not want.

Ukraine without a doubt withheld from some intel agencies in the West.

They've been the ones that have been going after civilians, journalists, as well as military officials inside of Russia, in Moscow, in St. Petersburg.

This is admitted by Budanov and by the SBU and by Ukraine.

They haven't denied this.

And in fact, some bad words passed between members of the delegation and members of the American delegation.

There's one report that Budanov actually started swear.

Budanov, of course, is the former head of the military intelligence in Ukraine and is now the head of the presidential administration.

And A potential replacement for Zelensky is very popular in Ukraine.

One of the top three most popular politicians in Ukraine.

They would also go to Azerbaijan and other parts in the Caspian Sea.

Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukrainian intelligence, suddenly realized, "Hey, we have drones that can go that far now.

Let's just fucking sink everything inside the Black Sea, in the Caspian Sea." So the Ukrainians did a campaign where they sank or they damaged to the point where they disabled one hundred and forty ships.

And the Caspian was like a conga line of ships going back and forth between Russia and Iran.

Now, the m- the critical thing is to see how, you know, what comes from this.

Uh, is he gonna follow through with his, uh, you know, his warning to, uh, Zelensky about continuing strikes against, uh, Russian? Well, according to, uh, some news reports, um, Budanov, who is the, the, uh, you know, the intent- the, the president's advisor, former intelligence director, stormed out of the meeting in Wash- in Miami saying, "We're gonna blow the hell out of every refinery." Hmm.

The president of the United States said, "You're not going to do that." Now, if you say you're going to do that, that puts you in direct conflict with the national security interests of the United States as defined by the only person who gets to define the national security of the United States.

That's the sitting president of the United States.

True, it's a little more overhead, but that's part of it.

Reversely, by Budanov's own admission, Russia has destroyed 90% of warehousing space in Kyiv.

And about somewhere around the 60% mark for the rest of Ukraine.

And that, by the way, goes also for groceries.

While the duo has so far failed to achieve the goal of peace, Trump is having the two continue their attempts at brokering a negotiated settlement.

Witkoff and Kushner are meeting Ukraine's chief of staff, Kyrylo, uh, Kyrylo Budanov, intelligence chief and top negotiator, in Miami Friday.

Additionally, Tr- uh, Treasury S- Secretary Scott Bessent and Deputy National Security Advisor Mark Needham will be president, uh, present as well.

The special envoy and Trump's son-in-law visited Moscow in September, where they began working on updated peace initiatives.
