Budonov threatens Russian pilots over missile strikes on residential buildings

Kyrylo Budonov, Head of the Presidential Office, threatens Russian pilots who carried out missile strikes on civilian infrastructure, emphasising that they will not be able to shift responsibility to following orders.

Address to the strike executors

On the night before 7 October, Russian pilots used missiles against Ukrainian residential buildings. In response to these actions, Budonov publicly addressed representatives of the enemy's aviation.

«Окремо звертаюся до російських пілотів, які пускали ракети на житлові будинки: ви не сховаєтеся за наказами» (I am specifically addressing the Russian pilots who launched missiles at residential buildings: you will not be able to hide behind orders), he stressed.

Criticism of passive observers

In addition to the direct executors, Budonov directed his message to those who are still calmly observing the crimes of the Kremlin. He questioned the attempts by such people to find economic benefits amidst the destruction.

«Які ще "бізнес-перспективи" ви намагаєтеся розгледіти крізь пил від зруйнованих українських будинків?» (What "business prospects" are you still trying to make out through the dust from destroyed Ukrainian houses?), asked the Head of the Presidential Office.
