Since it has the nature of a behind-the-scenes financial and economic deal, Kirill Dmitriev is a key figure here. So, without a doubt, this deal will go through. Calling it “peace talks” doesn’t feel right. I believe it will be a situation that Trump will sell as his victory — and after that, the war will resume (In response to the question: “Do you think peace negotiations will reach their logical conclusion, or will everything continue indefinitely?”)

I believe that unfortunately, Ukraine will be forced to accept the arrangement that will be agreed upon in negotiations mediated by Kirill Dmitriev and Steve Utkoff, and which will be finalized during a personal meeting between Presidents Putin and Trump. And Ukraine’s only trump card in this situation is military aid from Europe

I think the ceasefire will last until winter (Between Russia and Ukraine)

If Iran and Hezbollah don’t respond with a full-scale war... They’ll wait for Trump’s defeat, which would mean Netanyahu’s defeat as well (If Trump loses the election, Netanyahu will also face defeat)

There is a fairly strong coalition—the Patriotic Faction, or "Patriots for Europe" faction in the European Parliament—and I believe they will recognize your elections (Referring to the "Patriots for Europe" faction in the European Parliament, which will likely recognize the 2024 elections in Georgia)

Within two months, we will witness attempts to remove Netanyahu from power. And, undoubtedly, if this happens, we can then say that this is the goal, the step that will inevitably lead to the creation of a Palestinian state (If Netanyahu is removed, a Palestinian state will be established)

Russia cannot conclude a truce without reaching the borders of the DNR and LNR. But what if it fails to reach them? There will be a political crisis, I think. Then the war will continue, and then they will start supplying Tomahawks, I think

When the elections take place in Hungary, the European Union will provoke a civil war in Hungary, similar to a velvet revolution. Combat detachments will be deployed there from Ukraine, composed of ethnic Hungarians, as well as from Serbia and Romania, where Hungarians reside, and they will overthrow Orbán

I think that, right now with Netanyahu... some kind of terrible terrorist attack will happen in Israel that will be blamed on Hamas, in order to prolong this bloody life a little while longer for this gang that is at the head of the Jewish state

At least they say they want to include Gaza, but what else? No, it won’t happen, don’t worry (Response to the question: "Will Israel expand its territory?")

I can say that Israel will lose because the goals of this war — the destruction of Iran and regime change — are unattainable

Putin and Trump have agreed on everything — specifically, that Russian gas headed to the West will come under American control. At Russia’s border, it will be taken over by the Americans, and a new consortium will be formed. The Americans will encircle Europe: liquefied gas from the West, and pipeline gas from the East. And gas will flow through Ukraine — but not Russian gas; it will be American gas passing through Ukraine. Orban will become one of the main distributors of this gas, together with the Austrian right-wing and Fico

Trump's mistake was underestimating Zelensky and broadcasting that conversation.
The Europeans outplayed the Americans.
The war will continue for a long time—at least until 2028 (The war in Ukraine)

Just yesterday, Kyiv, through Zelensky’s statement, declared that it would never agree to the loss of Crimea and other territories that were part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Clearly, these are risky assets. It’s like trying to extract resources in a potential war zone. That’s why the Americans won’t invest there. They will leave this highly risky line of engagement to the Europeans (The U.S. will not be extracting resources on Ukrainian territory)

No one will ban Alternative, of course — that’s impossible (In response to the question: “What do you think about the planned ban on Alternative — the German party?”)

China does not want to allow this war, nor do the Western powers, European and transnational British corporations that have invested heavily there — in Kazakhstan, in Uzbekistan, and so on. Russia doesn’t want this war either. The United States currently doesn’t want any war at all. Therefore, I personally believe that there will be no war in Central Asia for the time being (In response to the question: “Will there be a war in Central Asia?”)

Macron has elections in 2027... Bardella will most likely win them. If Le Pen is allowed to run, she will become the President of France; if not, then Bardella is her second-in-command in the party

There will be no war in the Caucasus

I believe that a war between Turkey and Israel is only a matter of time. Within 2–3 years, armed clashes will begin. I am, of course, against this war

No, they are not possible right now. But by 2029, when Vance’s position strengthens, they will become possible. My prediction is that nothing will happen before 2029 (In response to the question: “Are direct negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow possible now?”)

I don’t think the European Union will disappear. I believe it will shift significantly to the right. The discussion is not about its dissolution but rather about a form of modernization, a change in rules, and a shift in the elites that control the European Union (In response to the question: "How much time does the EU have left as a union of states?")

No, they can't. Because the Democrats (Trump's enemies) don't have that kind of power (In response to the question: "Can they try to impeach Trump?")

They will sign an agreement with China sooner or later. There will be no war with China. And Chinese rare earth metals will continue to flow to America, just like they do now (There will be no war between the U.S. and China)

Back in the summer of last year, I said that we would still see Trump in Tehran. And that’s most likely how it will be — just like we saw him meeting with Kim Jong Un

Over these 4 years, if Trump fails to achieve peaceful negotiations with Russia and Iran, then by the end of his term he might resort to war with Iran, for example

Iran will become part of a single military-economic system (along with China) oriented towards China and will be under the Chinese umbrella, under Chinese protection (Answer to the question: "Maxim, what will happen to Iran in the future?")

In 10 years, the Russian population will decrease by several more million. Some unknown city dwellers will start passing themselves off as Russians. Many Israelis will move to Moscow. And when they’re asked, "Who are you?" they’ll say, "We are Russians" (In response to the question: "What will happen to Russia in 10 years?")

I do not believe that the regime in Iran will fall

It will only get worse, it will only get scarier... I am confident that Ukraine will receive bombers, fighters, missile defense systems, and tactical missiles

I do not rule out that those who initiated the case against Timur Ivanov, understanding that they will not be able to imprison him anyway, because Sergey Kuzhugetovich has very strong positions and very strong connections

I am confident that the time will come when unrestricted access to YouTube will return, so we will not stop our broadcasting on YouTube, especially since a huge number of viewers are outside the Russian Federation and can watch us completely without any restrictions

No. Never. Never in life (The answer to the question: 'Can Putin leave the presidency?')

Russia will never join the Turkic Union, in which Turkey is the main player (The answer to the question: 'Can Russia join the Turkic Union in the near future?')

I think that nuclear weapons will not be used

Missiles. We need to be prepared. They will hit Russian cities. Missiles will fly everywhere unless some solutions are found—political or military solutions. But we can see that there are no such solutions

There are no interests for either Trump or Biden to end the Ukrainian war... Do you think Trump will stop supplying weapons to Zelensky? I believe he absolutely will not

There is no attack and there will not be one. I believe it would be catastrophic for Israel, and Israel knows this too; there are not foolish people there (Answer to the question: "Do you not believe in the start of a ground operation at all?" (Israel against Hezbollah in Lebanon))

If Trump wins, there will be big problems for the liberals... If he does win, Trump will make a tour, stopping in Vienna, meeting with the Freedom Party of Austria, Orban, Fico, Alternative for Germany, Sahra Wagenknecht, and Meloni. That’s why I’m personally convinced that Trump will be assassinated; he won’t live to see this happen because he is too dangerous

No, I’m not obsessed with Israel. I just believe it’s one of the last remnants of the 20th century that will disappear, just like the Soviet Union did—only with a much bigger bang

When will Moldova attack Transnistria? Never. Moldova won’t attack Transnistria because it doesn’t have the resources for that

The IDF's invasion of Gaza will lead to Israel's defeat. I am simply 100% sure of this

No, there will be no mobilization. There will be no mobilization. Mobilization is not needed. Because that would mean arming the people. And an armed people are dangerous, very dangerous (In response to the question: “Will there be a mobilization?” (in Russia))

Everyone was writing about Putin, filming about Putin, talking about Putin... Everyone immediately started guessing: is this the one he’s picking as his successor? And look, Sobyanin talked to him for over half an hour — could it really be Sobyanin? I can say for sure: definitely not Sobyanin. Anyone but Sobyanin

I don’t believe in any meeting between Putin and Zelensky

No. Thanks to Alexander Grigoryevich Lukashenko, his remarkable intellect, and his exceptional diplomatic and strategic foresight, Belarus will not get involved. He is maneuvering between Scylla and Charybdis (In response to the question: "Will Belarus get drawn into the conflict?" (referring to the war in Ukraine))

No, they can't. Change from the bottom cannot happen. These hopes are illusory (Response to the question: "Can change come from the bottom in Russia?")

I believe that once Netanyahu is brought before the bench of defendants in Israel—as he inevitably will be—many aspects of the October 7 events will become known following the interrogations of Netanyahu and his associates

No, Israel won't risk attacking Turkey, never (In response to the question: "Could you please tell me if Israel would risk attacking Turkey?")

Yes, they would. But I don't think it will come to that (In response to the question: "NATO is threatening to shoot down Russian fighter jets. Do they have the guts?")

The Burevestnik on their side, a submarine on this side, which can never be used. Because it's impossible to imagine any reason why Russian capitalists would fire nuclear weapons at American capitalists and vice versa, when they want to trade with each other

What international contingent forces will be introduced into Ukraine after the signing of peace agreements. I have no doubt about this

There is a very high likelihood of Belarus entering the war

No one will achieve a decisive victory. I think everything will stop at some line, a kind of '38th parallel'... And after the cessation, long negotiations will begin... At least until the American elections, everything will continue

Netanyahu really wanted this. There will be no war (Response to the question: 'Will there be a major war between Israel and Iran?')

We'll see (Response to Liza Lazerson's remark: "Volodymyr Zelensky will never meet with Putin." (Judging by the intonation, Maxim Shevchenko implies that such a meeting will take place))

There will still be no direct conflict between NATO and Russia due to the fear of a global nuclear catastrophe
