I think it will come to a victim anyway. The Russians will definitely do it. I don't know who exactly they will eliminate. I mean European leaders; I'm not joking. They will eliminate one of them

There will be a peace plan from the Americans, from Trump’s team. They will offer it to Putin. And then there are two scenarios: Putin more or less agrees, or he more or less refuses. I’m betting that he will more or less refuse, meaning I’m betting that there won’t be a truce in this format. But that’s just my guess

They are trying to scare us by saying there will be no sanctions, look, Hungary and Slovakia have blocked new sanctions. Well, let me give you a forecast: another week or two, 1-2 weeks, and there will already be the 18th package of sanctions. That is my simple forecast (18th package of sanctions against Russia)

No, absolutely not. Trump will lead it — he’ll come to the Senate and speak in support of this bill (In response to the question: "If the Senate moves to put Lindsey Graham’s bill to a vote and it passes, do you think Trump will veto it?")

Admit Ukraine into NATO without the occupied territories. This is about some sort of compromise that Ukraine, Russia, and NATO would need to sign. What is this compromise? … The military actions would stop along the current front line. After that, all of the territory controlled by Ukraine at this moment would be admitted into NATO. What is being proposed in this deal, which doesn’t yet exist? The proposal is this: you sign something like that with Russia, we’ll flood you with money, you’ll start building a prosperous Ukraine, join the European Union, and receive massive investments… in 20 years, Russia will collapse, and you’ll get your territory back. I believe none of this will work. A year from now, we’ll look back at all of this as something that didn’t happen

What is the likelihood of a civilian plane being shot down because airports are not permanently closed? It took three years for the first civilian plane to be shot down. The next one will take much less time. Within a year, the next one will be shot down by the Russians

My main demand is that America must apologize for proposing that we sign this predatory agreement, for attempting to rob us at a crucial moment. I was genuinely outraged by the White House representative's words. I believe that America will have to apologize for this (The U.S. will apologize to Ukraine for proposing the resource extraction agreement in the form it was presented during the Munich Conference in February 2025)

He could become a legal, legitimate president of the Russian Federation because he served one term already and this would be his second. I think that's what Medvedev is aiming for. Remember this date, August 3, 2025, when Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev once again became the heir to the Russian throne after the deployment of nuclear submarines

And amid the referendum in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan is also searching for a location to build a new power plant... However, since a nuclear power plant costs $10-12 billion... It’s highly unlikely that Kyrgyzstan will have a nuclear power plant anytime soon

Those 33 years of Ukraine's independence are not much. Another 40 years will pass, and we’ll see F-185s in our skies, capable of targeting a lone Russian standing in Red Square. Or maybe they won’t be F-series planes, but U-135s, our own Ukrainian aircraft (This means that in the future, Ukraine will have advanced weaponry, including state-of-the-art aircraft)

Did the Russians threaten Ukraine with nuclear weapons? They did. This means there is every reason, since Russia violated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty with respect to Ukraine, to create nuclear weapons in response. I suspect that they will be developed... Ukraine already has this program, and it will be implemented regardless

Here’s my prediction: in the presidential election after the war, both Zelensky and Zaluzhny won’t be on the ballot simultaneously. Either neither Zelensky nor Zaluzhny will be there, or Zelensky will be, but not Zaluzhny, or Zaluzhny will, but not Zelensky. That’s my prediction (In Ukraine)
