If this loan is allocated, there definitely won't be peace; Ukraine will definitely continue fighting for another two years

How many years will it take for Russia to reach the borders of Donbas? That is a debatable question. Three years or more

Will Ukraine join the EU before the start of 2027? This is unacceptable for Moscow. Moscow will never agree to this

In the end, yes, of course (Answer to the question: "What awaits Telegram in your opinion? A block as well?")

I assert, my hypothesis is that two events will occur before the New Year: first, Germany will supply Taurus missiles to Ukraine, and second, Russian assets will be confiscated

At the beginning of the year, we will see a two-fold reduction in Russian oil exports (At the beginning of 2026)

Next time, when Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin participates in the elections as a candidate for President of the Russian Federation, and Sergey Semyonovich Sobyanin as a candidate for Mayor of Moscow, know that Putin and Sobyanin will win

Will he move to mobilization? He will... He will definitely move (Putin)

No. It might not be days, it might be weeks, it might be months, but no, Zelenskyy will not survive this crisis (Answer to the question: "Will Zelenskyy be able to survive this crisis? Or are his days in power numbered?")

Yermak will be arrested in the coming weeks

This is not a deception, it is another round, a round of negotiations. The problem is that there is a completely different understanding of how peace should be formed. The US administration and the Ukrainian leaders and European leaders have different positions. I see no prospect that this round of negotiations will end with some kind of agreement

Move your photos from WhatsApp. Soon it will close down completely in Russia. MAX is marching across the country!

I think there can be no Vance after Trump

I think Ushakov will be retired soon

According to my information, Hegseth will be fired (Pete Hegseth - United States Secretary of War)

Ukraine will never agree to a capitulation-style withdrawal of its troops from the territory of Donbas that it currently control

They will also close the borders. There will be exit visas. I am convinced of this (In Russia)

My forecast is that, globally, the marketplaces will be bent over somehow (Referring to disagreements between banks and marketplaces about discounts)

In my opinion, Kyiv should have simply taken it and signed, and thus handed the baton to the Russian side. Personally, I doubt that Putin will sign this peace treaty. Because it seems unprofitable for the Kremlin to me. I think it will be very difficult to present it as a victory

Ukraine will be entirely ours in a maximum of 2 years. Possibly much sooner. There will be no sovereignty there whatsoever, as Ukrainians are utterly incapable of using it (Ukraine will be Russian)

No, of course not! He won't sign with that number! (Answer to the question: "Will Putin agree to 600? Will Russia not sign this document?" - Referring to whether Russia will agree to sign a settlement treaty for the war in Ukraine with a clause about the Ukrainian army's size being 600,000 people)

Putin cannot hand over power to anyone. We understand that in Putin's lifetime, he will not hand over power to anyone

No one is going to raise the retirement age (In Russia)

Tomorrow is an interesting day in Ukraine. Will the NABU file a suspicion notice against Zelenskyy's wife, Olena, who is present on all the tapes as the curator of the scheme?
Or will they wait until next Monday, the decisive week?
Most likely, they will file it. After all, there will be so many envoys from the Pentagon in Kyiv

Zelenskyy will most likely hold onto his position, it seems to me (Answer to the question: "Your forecast, will Zelenskyy remain in office after this scandal?")

Yermak is done.
The US Chargé d'Affaires for Ukraine stated to the leaders of the Rada parties and US Embassy staff that she is launching a competition for the new head of Zelenskyy's office tomorrow.
Yermak will be interrogated by the NABU and SAP upon arrival, and after that, he will resign

I think Umerov will return to Ukraine — at least this time. Anything else would be too severe a blow to Zelenskyy

Moscow has voiced this plan: give us the entire Donbas, 6,000 square kilometers, we guarantee you nothing, some kind of freeze in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson. In my opinion, as soon as the 6,000 are given up, the war will resume immediately. They will occupy it, set up, dig trenches, or use the defensive structures created by Ukraine, and the war will resume immediately. That is my forecast

He will 100% lose the election (Orbán)

Finnish Prime Minister Stubb stated that they (the Finns) must give Ukraine long-range weapons to strike Russia.
By doing so, he must understand that he has entered the war with us. And there will be strikes on Finland

I think he certainly won't send in troops. But I think there will be an operation against Venezuela, and there will be strikes (Answer to the question: "Will Trump send troops into Venezuela?")

If something extraordinary doesn't happen, I think Trump will inevitably lose Congress after the elections (in 2026, the entire House of Representatives or one-third of the Senate will be re-elected in the USA). I remind you, the elections are in November next year

My prediction is that this will not happen (Poland will not stop helping Ukraine)

If you ask me how much Zelenskyy's rating will drop next month... he will lose 2-3% of his rating

The set of weapons that will allow the Kerch bridge to be taken out with a single snap will be received before the end of this year (Ukraine will receive a weapon capable of destroying the Kerch Bridge)

I think nothing threatens Nabiullina

If we are talking about the frontline regions, if we are talking about the Rostov region, if we are talking about the Bryansk, Belgorod, and Kursk regions, then yes, I would recommend getting a normal generator already, because there will absolutely be no electricity there, it is a matter of months. I think, I am not forecasting, but I think that from December Ukraine will start launching Flamingo on a permanent basis, including at power generating facilities. Already today in Belgorod 20 thousand people are without electricity, and it will only get worse

I think that in a month or two of such strikes, mass blackouts and power outages will inevitably come to the Russian Federation as well

Trump will not get involved in a large-scale ground campaign on the territory of a state with a population of over 25 million. He does not need a new Vietnam or a new Afghanistan. But he may well try to overthrow the Maduro government with a series of air strikes. What will this lead to? It is unknown yet. But most likely the Maduro government will stand firm

I think that car factories will start shifting from a four-day week to layoffs... Mass, million-person layoffs are what will become a trend in 2026 (In Russia)

I expect that in the near future, in the foreseeable future, maybe this winter when everything freezes, the fight for this zone will begin (The zone of the dried-up bottom of the former Kakhovka Reservoir)

Regarding the Sarmat, I told the story that this missile essentially does not exist, it is only in Vladimir Putin's dreams. If there is something Sarmat-like, it simply does not fly. If they try to launch it, it will most likely either explode on the launch pad again or fall apart into pieces in the sky on the way

Gunvor will say - maybe we shouldn't buy Lukoil's assets. In the coming days... Gunvor says - and we don't want to buy Lukoil's assets

Trump will have a tough year. I am making a prediction that he will lose either the House of Representatives, or the Senate, or both. Which is, generally, good for the health of America (in 2026)

I think no, neither Trump nor Putin will conduct nuclear tests—specifically, the detonation of nuclear charges—neither of them (Answer to the question: "And will Putin conduct nuclear tests?")

I am absolutely convinced that Königsberg will return to its historical homeland, or become an independent state. But this will only happen after Russia's military defeat

I am a pessimist. For some reason, I'm certain that it will definitely happen in our lifetime (Nuclear war)

I am waiting for a review of the property tax system (In Russia)

So, is Lvova-Belova never going to end up in The Hague? Of course, she will. She is young; she will outlive Putin. She will end up there

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

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

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

Well, I understand that in any case, Mamdani will win. Mamdani will win

I think that at some stage, Ukraine will still receive Tomahawks or some analog of Tomahawks, like Barracuda missiles

Well, if he's released, a position will definitely be found, but somehow I feel they won't release him. The person knows too much (Timur Ivanov might be sent to the front... he's asking to be sent as an assault soldier to the SMO. Your prediction: will they actually release him? And will he really go on the attack as a private with a bayonet, or will some position be found for him?)

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the deployment of troops to Chicago. Everything is moving towards the Supreme Court, which is highly likely to allow Trump to deploy the National Guard in Chicago

140 billion will be stolen on Thursday, October 23rd. The EU pushed Belgium, and on Thursday, the final decision will be made on the definitive theft of 140 billion euros of the Russian Central Bank's reserves from Russia's assets.
They have been frozen since 2022. And now they will be taken, and they will be used to buy weapons from the USA and transfer them to Ukraine

I have a feeling they will leave it (unchanged)... There is a chance that they might lower it slightly, but looking at past experience, I lean towards rigidity, I could be wrong on Friday, but my forecast is that they will leave it (unchanged) (Key rate)

He will not end up there. There is no such risk. This is left-wing Israeli propaganda. There is no scenario in which Netanyahu actually ends up in prison

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

Putin will fly the long, roundabout way, through the Black Sea, through the Mediterranean Sea, through friendly countries... I think he will fly. European politicians have no chance of somehow forcing Trump to back out, and no chance of forcing Orbán to arrest Putin

I believe it is zero. I don't see any such chances for a freeze in the war. There are two and a half months left until the New Year. No, I consider it impossible (Answer to the question: "What do you think is the chance of the war ending before the New Year?")

I feel that Putin will not come to Hungary after all. They will either re-negotiate for a different location, or the meeting will simply fall through

There is a feeling that it is absolutely inevitable in the near future (In response to: "Do you believe in the possibility of a big trade war between the US and China?")

Do you believe in the possibility of a big trade war between the US and China? Because my feeling is that they are not ready yet. If five years pass and production is relocated, then yes, but for now, not really

This is an attempt to support Orbán, who is currently facing a big problem with the elections. Most likely, he will lose the election badly

The sanctions have reached their limit. I don't expect them to sharply intensify, because it is very unprofitable for the West itself (Western sanctions against Russia)

What is victory in war? The capture of Kyiv is unrealistic

This war will not be ended by those who started it, on either side. This is a very long story (War in Ukraine)

The Israeli army has withdrawn... My cautious prediction is that the war will continue. Because Hamas certainly won't voluntarily lay down its weapons. Because that would mean losing power in the Gaza Strip

Anastasia Kashevarova... I really think she'll be imprisoned

I think one could choose the option "will give in the coming days" (Will Trump give Tomahawks to Ukraine? The four options are: 1) Yes, will give in the coming days 2) Yes, but in months, or even years 3) Will promise, but won't give 4) Won't give and will stop promising. Which option would you choose, Yury Evgenyevich?)

Absolutely, and, of course, the Tomahawks will appear. That's my prediction (The US will transfer Tomahawks to Ukraine))

I believe so, yes, I believe Putin is currently at war. The Baltics look like the obvious next step (In response to the clarifying question: "If Ukraine capitulates, will Putin definitely start a war somewhere else?")

I think we should expect them from Belarus, but not from Russia (In response to the question: "Should we expect more exchanges with Belarus and the Russian Federation?" (Exchanges of political prisoners))

This is part of the hybrid war against Europe. This is a new wave of refugees, a new burden on Europe, which started screaming, "We are at war with Russia, Russia will surely attack, we must unite." Although it is clear to everyone that Russia will not attack the main, large part of Europe, at least

Right now, there is a vote underway for which object will appear on the new 500-ruble Russian banknote. And Mount Elbrus is competing with Grozny-City. I think Grozny-City will win the vote

A person who spoke such words about Ukrainians and Ukraine, I assume, would never be able to get even 1% in an honest election (Arestovych)

I can say for my part that you can have no doubt about the Tomahawks; the question is how effective they will be, when, and how many. As for Tomahawks, this is a more than realistic scenario (The US will transfer Tomahawks to Ukraine)

Alexei, well, I don't believe in the Tomahawks. Even Biden said that Tomahawks will only be supplied if Putin launches a nuclear strike (The US will not transfer Tomahawks to Ukraine)

There will probably be an operation to overthrow Maduro

Many are asking questions about the Russian IT specialists who were beaten and detained in Azerbaijan. I think nothing will change in their situation right now

Will they capture Siversk? It is very unlikely that they will capture it this year; most likely they won't capture it

I've stated my prediction: they will choose a path soon—either they will carry out mobilization, or they will have to start peace negotiations. They can wait no longer than half a year

If they sort out all the technical issues, I think that in the next few years India will become the main driver of global growth. Trillions of dollars will be invested there

They won't be able to keep the budget deficit under 7-8 trillion, and they won't succeed. They will have so many expenses in December. And they will probably proceed as follows: they will finance part of the expenses not on December 30th, but on January 12th or some other day, and that will give them a breather... And this is the first dangerous game that will undermine the budget, because already in the first quarter, when they start calculating, they will show such a deficit that everyone will be shocked... They will certainly do this; I can practically bet on it (In Russia)

How is Ibragim Suleymanov doing? And now, judging by the charges filed against him, he has two counts of organizing murders. I don't think the investigation will stop there. My prediction is they will find new criminal cases... Ibragim Suleymanov will be jailed for decades; there is no doubt about that

Kozak is a fairly trusted figure for Vladimir Putin. Nothing will happen to Dmitry Kozak, I'm sure of that, just as nothing happened to Kudrin. I think Kozak will be somewhere at Kudrin's level

Literally almost every day, news comes in about nationalizations or simply the redistribution of business. You know the most famous examples. There are two options: nationalization, and the second option is declaring it an extremist community. Now they will start doing this routinely. My prediction is that they will put this into practice on a large scale, and we will see quite a few more extremist communities, besides the Nevzorovs, the owners of Kirieshki, and Lesta

In my opinion, Roman Dobrokhotov was right to say that if he contacts us, we have sufficient data for 2017 and we will quickly understand how much basis this has. By the way, knowing Durov, I don't think he will contact anyone. I think there won't be much of a continuation of the story. And everyone will be left with the impression that Durov talked about poisoning, then proved nothing, so he was talking nonsense. Let's remember this conversation in six months; I think that's how it will be in six months. Remind me of this prediction in six months

My forecast is that the situation is approaching its climax. Call it World War Three, a hybrid war, or whatever you like. But the situation is approaching its climax. I think that the resolution will come during the first half of next year, or generally next year as a whole. Putin has already taken a low start. Drones across Europe—that is war... This will end with Russian ships being completely banned from sailing the seas; it will end with clashes with NATO. This cannot end with anything else, because Putin has decided to go all the way

Probably not; it's very unlikely that Tomahawks will be supplied (In response to the question: "Will there be Tomahawks? How good are they? And what are the pros and cons?" (Will they be given to Ukraine))

I believe it will come to a point when Bitcoin is worth one million dollars (In response to the question: "Do you think Bitcoin will go to a million dollars?")

Returning to the Bank of Russia, it will want to see how this will affect inflationary expectations, so definitely until January 1st, no one will be lowering the key rate quickly (Referring to the key rate)

Literally at this moment, a meeting between Netanyahu and Trump began at the White House. There will be a discussion of the plan for this deal, which is a 21-point deal. I believe Israel will agree... I sincerely don't believe that Hamas will agree to this deal

The point is that Hamas represents the position of the majority of Palestinians, for whom the goal is the destruction of the Jewish state and the Jewish people, which is why this plan will not work (Trump's plan, which he laid out on September 29, 2025)

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

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

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

Well, perhaps some very nominal figure, like Zhoga—meaning a 'desk veteran' who hasn't seen much fighting and clearly understands the party line. Naturally, no veterans of the Special Military Operation will be allowed into positions of power. The Kremlin would view them more as a dangerous, destructive force (In response to the question: "Will any SMO veteran be featured as one of the main driving forces in the upcoming campaign?")
