volodymyr zelenskyi according to eyewitnesses on television, and also appeared valery zaluzhnyi and kyrylo budanovoccupying authorities of crimea reported on the hacking of local internet- and in ukraine they will talk about that it could be a special operation of ukrainian intelligence. an attempt on the wife of the head of gur, kyril budanov. such news shook the ukrainian and world media this week. mariana budanova and several other employees of the main directorate of intelligence ended up in the hospital after being poisoned by heavy metals. is there a russian trace here and what details are known? nina kolomiets learned. marianna, the wife of the head of the main intelligence department, kirill budanov, was poisoned with heavy metals, she is alive and has undergone the first stage of treatment. such a message with a link to ukrainian pravda published its own sources on tuesday. subsequently , gur representative andriy yusov confirmed this information, but did not share the details. the fact of poisoning has been confirmed, not only with regard to mrs. maryana budanova, but also with regard to

the head of gur, kyrylo budanov, made statements about that the bridge will cease to exist when ukraine returns crimea, and president volodymyr zelenskyi emphasized that even now the crimean bridge is a legitimate target for ukraine. for us , this is a clear enemy object, which is built... outside the law and out of respect for international law, outside international law and all norms, respectively, and therefore for us this goal is clear, and any goal that carries war, and not peace, but must be neutralized. flaws in the russian defense, as well as statements by the ukrainian authorities about the continuation of strikes on the bridge, forced the russian the power to start the victory. they are about the construction of an underwater tunnel under the kerch strait, which would be protected from missile attacks of ukraine. this was reported by the washington post with reference to the ukrainian special services. they claim to have read intercepted e-mails in which it was said that the china state railway construction corporation crcc is ready to ensure the construction of railways and r

however, ... mass mobilization cannot be avoided - said the country's chief intelligence officer kyrylo budanov, i quote: the total defense forces of ukraine currently have a conditional number of 1,100, no recruiting, such volumes to cover can't, only mobilization , head commissar valery zaluzhnyi believes that mobilization should be returned to the framework that existed before, and when asked how the dismissal of regional military committees would affect its effectiveness, he noted that they were professionals, they knew how to do it , and there are none. therefore, the draft law being prepared in the verkhovna rada should clearly describe the country's new mobilization system. who, why, how, where will the apprentice be called. and guaranteed for all occasions. currently, the current process of mobilization and actions of the tsc overgrown with new scandals, when people are grabbed from the streets, gyms and restaurants. everything resembles a random selection of men, which the new law should have stopped. what exactly will be in the law is currently unknown, some theses that appeared in so
