As of today, based on the indicators we see, there is no discussion of any ground operation in the next six months (In response to the question: “There are protests across the United States against U.S. involvement in the war. How do you assess the likelihood of a ground operation?” (in Iran))

Oh, that’s still a long way off. Fighting for the Kramatorsk-Sloviansk agglomeration can only begin after the enemy firmly secures the defensive line of Pokrovsk, Kostyantynivka, and Chasiv Yar. Only after that (Response to the question: "Are the battles for Kramatorsk and Sloviansk next?")

Well, that’s nonsense. It’s nonsense. There will be no nuclear strike (In response to the remark: "Alarming news. U.S. citizens — the American embassy in Kyiv is urging heightened vigilance... There are reports that the Americans might be fearing a nuclear strike" (on Ukraine))

We all understand perfectly well that no matter how much Donald Trump may wish it, if certain objectives are not achieved — and they won’t be — we can say this: until May 9th, there’s no point in even opening our mouths or thinking that any kind of ceasefire might happen

Therefore, it's not appropriate to say that we are seriously considering the possibility of an offensive in the Sumy or Kharkiv direction today or in the near future (Speaking about a potential Russian offensive)

I’ll allow myself to cautiously suggest that Ukrainian forces will likely remain in the territory of Kursk Oblast for at least the entire month of January

Will we be able to hold it? Right now, I can say with a high degree of confidence that yes, we can hold Pokrovsk. But it’s a matter of time

Absolutely. I fully agree with this statement (In response to: "And if anyone thinks they can bring Putin to the negotiating table in the sense we understand it, that will never happen")

Therefore, even 10 Oreshnik missiles, despite a strong desire to strike decision-making centers, are unlikely to reach their targets (Referring to decision-making centers in Ukraine)

Absolutely not. Absolutely not, because with the current pace of advance that we’re seeing, I virtually rule out such a possibility in the near future—at least for the next six months (In response to the question: "Could there be a threat to any regional centers in Ukraine?" (Will the Russian army be able to take any regional centers in Ukraine?))

From my personal experience communicating with Americans, I get the impression that the U.S. elections will in no way affect the level of combat activity in Ukraine

I categorically rule out... I deny and exclude the possibility of creating nuclear weapons on the territory of Ukraine, including so-called dirty bombs

Ukraine can afford the luxury of launching hundreds, or even two hundred, drone strikes overnight. Our geography is vast, and there is plenty to destroy. We won’t just sit around dreaming of Tomahawks. Ukraine is already accomplishing these tasks today. In my hometown of Feodosia, an oil products base, which is very important, was blown up today. With these small tactical but significant steps, we are moving closer to our victory. My task is to assure you that victory will be ours; everything will be alright

For example, as of today, I do not see any prospects for the end of this war in the next 2-3 years at a minimum

We are closely monitoring the situation in Belarus. Ukraine will not interfere. This is the task of the Belarusian people (There will be no invasion of Ukraine into the territory of Belarus)

He will take it (The first question is, will he (Prigozhin) take Bakhmut or not?)

No. Ilovaisk will definitely not be repeated. There are neither conditions nor prerequisites for that (Could Ilovaisk be repeated (in Bakhmut)? Could the encirclement of Ukrainian troops occur in Bakhmut?)

For me, the question of transferring these systems is not if, but when?... I have no doubt that we will receive these systems. Specifically, the American ones (About the Patriot system)

I had no doubts that this war would continue until the end of next year

Sweden and Finland will undoubtedly join NATO in the near future
