Ukraine's head of military intelligence says the war with Russia is going so well, that it will reach a turning point by mid-August and be over by the end of the year, APA reports citing Sky News.

"The turning point will be in the second half of August. Most of the active combat operations will be completed by the end of this year. "As a result, we will renew Ukrainian power in all the territories we have lost, including the Donbas and Crimea," Budanov said.

Russia's tactics have not changed despite its shift to the east he says, and Russia is suffering huge losses.

"Europe sees Russia as a big threat. They are afraid of its aggression. We have been fighting Russia for eight years and we can say that this highly publicised Russian power is a myth. It is not as powerful as this. It is a horde of people with weapons," General Budanov said.
