The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, confirmed to RBC-Ukraine that Ukrainian intelligence has the resources to eavesdrop on Kremlin representatives.
“We can, yes. We get paid for it“, Budanov replied when asked if Kiev could eavesdrop on “Kremlin representatives“.
On December 6, Budanov used the phrase “Everything was wonderful there“ to describe the meeting of the Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Abu Dhabi in late November. A journalist asked the intelligence chief to talk about the negotiation process to resolve the conflict and mentioned the meeting between representatives of Kiev and Moscow in the United Arab Emirates.
American media reported that on November 25, talks were held in Abu Dhabi between representatives of Moscow, Kiev and Washington. The updated version of US President Donald Trump's initiative to resolve the Ukrainian conflict was allegedly discussed.
