Budanov is glowie

Budanov was one of the members of the elite Unit 2245 of the Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate trained by CIA. The New York Times reports that Budanov gained a reputation for participating in bold operations behind enemy lines. In 2016, while still a lieutenant colonel, he reportedly led a special forces unit in an amphibious raid on Russian-occupied Crimea to plant explosives at an airfield. Budanov's unit was ambushed by a Russian commando unit after landing; the Ukrainian force killed several Russian soldiers before retreating to Ukrainian-controlled territory. According to The New York Times, Budanov was brought to the United States for treatment at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after being wounded in fighting in the Donbas.

Budanov tacts mb had worked in 2022 but now when Russian will enter a village they will deport everyone because they have intel that Kharkov citizens were trained to work as saboteurs. Most of Kharkov folks already left like the city that has now outgoing fights had 20k people then before the new attack started 3k so there will be like 1k or less left that will be just deported.

So his saboteur technics won't work now with Russian new tactics
