"Unveiling Ukraine's Enigmatic Spymaster: Emerging from the Shadows"

Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR), has gained a public profile as he discusses wartime intelligence and menaces Russia. He believes that in today's world, a spy boss cannot stay in the shadows and that all future wars will resemble the information battle. Budanov claims that Ukraine lost the information war in 2014 but is now winning against Russia. He has used recent events, such as the mercenary mutiny in Russia, to reveal what Ukraine's spies know about their enemy. Budanov, who is reviled in Russia, has faced multiple assassination attempts but remains undeterred.
