Budanov mentioned this in a comment to a journalist after the "Ukraine. Year 2025" forum on Sunday, February 23, as reported by Novyny.LIVE.
Third Anniversary of the Full-Scale Invasion
An international journalist asked Budanov after the forum whether Russia plans to attack Ukraine on the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion.
"Are you referring to a possible missile strike? It's quite possible," he replied.
Recall that during today's forum, Budanov commented on the timelines for ending the war. In his view, this could happen as early as this year, as Russia needs a "breather."
He also shared that 50% of Russia's ammunition needs are met by North Korea. Additionally, the DPRK supplies howitzers and MLRS.
