Putin’s obvious desire to regain control over the Kursk region before Trump’s inauguration is unlikely to succeed

I think there will most likely be a call or some kind of conversation, or perhaps even a meeting... between Trump and Putin before the inauguration

After being elected, it's not customary for American presidents to take any significant actions that lead to specific consequences. So, the likelihood of any serious moves from Biden was already low, and now it’s almost approaching zero

So it’s most likely that this decision, if it is made—and I think it will be—will be made in February of next year (Talking about U.S. authorization for Ukraine to strike Russian territory with long-range missiles)

It’s clear that Biden won’t be visiting Europe before the end of his term. At least, the likelihood of that happening is close to zero

Most likely, this will happen today, so I will cautiously say that this sensational news will occur. Today, Antony Blinken is arriving in Kyiv (The USA will allow Ukraine to use American long-range weapons to strike at Russia)

Putin will not release Navalny... there are two people that Putin will not let go. I understand that I could be wrong, but nonetheless, I have been following this for a long time. These are two personal enemies of Putin: Alexei Navalny and Vladimir Kara-Murza

There is no chance that any of the Western leaders will say a word for Kara-Murza and that he will be freed - this is very unlikely... A swap is extremely unlikely. People like him are not exchanged. Neither Navalny, nor Kara-Murza, nor Yashin

He is unlikely to expect that due to his attacks, Putin will remove Beglov. This is out of the question... Beglov is quite satisfactory to Putin. And of course, under such pressure, Beglov will never be dismissed... Under no circumstances will Prigozhin's actions achieve success

I think that Kadyrov will not leave (Commenting on Kadyrov's statement that he has been sitting in his position for too long)

I don't think that Prigozhin, like Kadyrov, is capable of taking any serious political position in present-day Russia... It is impossible to imagine that they would become some kind of ministers or head a federal structure
