At the beginning of the mass invasion, Russia considered several candidates for the presidency of Ukraine.
Russia plans to remove the current Ukrainian government and appoint “its own” president. This was announced on Friday, September 30, at a telethon by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov.

“Perhaps my answer will surprise you, but at the time the war started, Russia did not make a decision on who to appoint as president of Ukraine. They had several options for who should be president, but no they are final,” said the GUR leader.
According to Budanov, Viktor Yanukovych is considered one of the candidates for the post of puppet leader of Ukraine. The Russians ordered him to prepare to return to Kyiv, but the fugitive former president himself did not want it.
“One of the most meaningless, for me, is the option to return Yanukovych. He really prepared for it. We had undercover information from his environment about how he was preparing. By the way, he himself is not very happy about it. . But there is such an option,” said Budanov.
Recall that three criminal cases are being investigated against Yanukovych. For all of them, the court allowed the arrest of the former president.
Earlier it was reported that law enforcement officials completed a pre-trial investigation into the circumstances of the seizure of state power by the former president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych and collusion with the former deputy minister of justice .
