Quote: "I may disappoint you, but we know he died from a blood clot. It's more or less confirmed. This is not taken from the Internet, but, unfortunately, a natural [death – ed.]."
Budanov also urged people not to believe that Russia's regime "will be toppled naturally, by itself," stating that "without our help, it is unrealistic."
He also stated that a stable regime in Russia is a threat to Ukraine and the world, and that Ukraine will continue to conduct operations on Russian territory.
"As long as we are at war, there will be problems within the Russian Federation," Budanov added.
