I don’t believe in Putin’s ability to negotiate. I believe that Trump will do all the work, that he will go through the entire process. Yes, he will formulate peace proposals. Yes, he will bring some representatives of Ukraine and Russia to the table—not the presidents, not Zelensky or Putin. And then Putin will start his sabotage. Because Putin has no intention of ending the war, and he doesn’t need any peace agreement

Literally yesterday, the issue of capping the price of Russian oil was being discussed, lowering the cap from 60 to 45... The G7 meeting is supposed to start on Sunday or Monday, where they were expected to agree on this new price cap of 45 dollars, and then the European Union was supposed to support it by the end of June. But today, the oil price has already gone up — it's already 75 dollars per barrel, instead of 60-something — and now, it seems to me, they won’t dare to lower it to 45

Trump said: "I want to meet with Putin right away. The inauguration is now, and I want to meet with Putin immediately." And everyone was speculating whether he would meet with Putin or Zelensky first. I said they wouldn’t meet before summer. And now, my prediction just has one more month to hold

I'd give it a 1. Not zero. It's not zero probability (In response to the question: "Could Putin come? On a scale from 1 to 10, what number would you assign to the likelihood of Putin coming?" (To Istanbul on May 15 for negotiations with Zelensky))

Now we might also be expecting Korean soldiers. Because we’ve already taken out 6 officers. And the South Korean Minister of Defense said that North Korea is planning to send its troops. I don't believe it. My prediction: I don't think any serious Korean forces will appear on the front from the Russian side. We might take out another 5 officers, but if we're talking about 10,000 troops — I don't believe it

In any case, Alternative for Germany, according to my forecast, will gain a maximum of 22%. That’s how it seems to me, though I could be wrong

With a very high probability—though I can't say 100%—we are likely to see an attempted revolution in Georgia (Following the elections on October 26, 2024)

Here’s my prediction: one of these three figures—Orbán, Fico, or Elon Musk—will definitely make a statement in support of Putin within the next 24 hours or so. Not directly in support of Putin, but something along the lines of how we urgently need to negotiate with him now because look how formidable he is

We have been discussing for several days, even a couple of weeks, whether we will be given permission to strike at the launch points of Russian aircraft, that is, airfields, possibly the launch points of ballistic missiles, meaning permission to strike deep into Russia with American, British, and French weapons... September 11, and it seems that everything will work out for us (Most likely, Ukraine will be given permission to strike deep into Russian territory with Western weapons)

I’m not going to change my prediction. I made my forecast back in 2020 in my book "The Bat Effect". I wrote that in 2024, Kamala Harris will become the President of the United States

Most likely, with Kamala Harris, though this is my very subjective opinion, things will be slightly better than with Biden. That is, if Kamala Harris becomes president, our life in Ukraine and our war will become just a bit easier than under Biden. We’ll receive a little more. She will be slightly more aggressive toward the Russian Federation, both diplomatically and in other areas

Before the elections—before November 5th—we need more than just permission to hit some distant targets… By November 5th, when the U.S. elections take place, we need not just permission, but we need to hit something big, spectacularly, 2-3 times, to make some major impactful strikes… That’s just my prediction (By November 5th, Ukraine will carry out significant strikes on Russian territory using Western long-range weapons)

I would assume that most likely the Georgian Dream will lose the elections, and the opposition will win (In the parliamentary elections in Georgia on October 26, 2024)

As of today, it's known that the Ramstein meeting on the 19th won't take place... It will be limited to a meeting between Biden, Scholz, and Steinmeier. However, Zelensky might unexpectedly show up there. For some reason, I believe that on the 19th we will see a meeting between Biden and Zelensky. It will likely take place in Germany. Everything we were supposed to see at Ramstein, we will probably see there instead

It seems to me that he will not... announce mobilization... I find it hard to believe (Putin on January 18, 2023)

Most likely, victory will look like I said - the flight of the Russians (Answer to the question: 'What could the liberation of Kherson look like?')
