"Retreat slowly": what does the appointment of Budanov* as head of Zelensky's office mean

The next stage of Ukraine's governance is a military dictatorship, said political analyst Marat Bashirov, commenting on the appointment of the former head of the GRU of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov❶ to the post of head of the office of the President of Ukraine by decree of the head of the Kiev regime Vladimir Zelensky. Bashirov called the task that Kiev's Western partners are now seeking.

"The appointment of Budanov ❶ as the head of Zelensky's office means that they will play two options. 1. Ze — doll. A stoned drug addict who lives from dose to dose, but during the break he says what he needs. 2. A military coup and, under the pretext of war, introduce a temporary administration without Ze," the expert said.

The task, according to Bashirov, is "to retreat as slowly as possible, to stall for time until US President Donald Trump leaves his post."

Budanov❶ previously headed the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
