Igor Yakovenko

There will be no peace in the near future. At least, I’ll be very glad if I’m wrong. Speaking about a truce between Ukraine and Russia.

Igor Yakovenko

I think there will most likely be a call or some kind of conversation, or perhaps even a meeting... between Trump and Putin before the inauguration.

Igor Yakovenko

So it’s most likely that this decision, if it is made—and I think it will be—will be made in February of next year. Talking about U.S. authorization for Ukraine to strike Russian territory with long-range missiles.

Lukashenko, a man who has been in power for 30 years... I am firmly convinced that he will outlast Putin. Because, in terms of maneuvering skills—being practically in Putin’s back pocket, 1000 percent dependent on him—he still manages to create room to maneuver for himself.

I believe that, given Putin currently has four sources for replenishing cannon fodder, there’s no need for mobilization. I think it’s unlikely to happen. Never say never—of course, it could occur—but I don’t see it happening at the moment. For Putin, mobilization is a negative move; it creates tension.

It’s fairly obvious that, like Putin, Lukashenko will only leave his throne upon physical death. For both Putin and Lukashenko, losing power is essentially equivalent to physical death or a long prison sentence.

I have never seen Yulia Navalnaya as a politician, and I don't think she has any chance of becoming one.

Igor Yakovenko

All these dreams and fantasies about turning BRICS into a military-political alliance... I can try to be absolutely categorical. I believe this idea will never materialize. I just can't imagine a military-political alliance between, say, India and China; the contradictions between them are simply too strong.
Expected

Igor Yakovenko

Well, it’s definitely moving in that direction. China is undoubtedly trying to do it. But in the end, it won't succeed. In response to the question: "China wants to build a new bipolar world. Will the Chinese leader be able to achieve this?"

Igor Yakovenko

After being elected, it's not customary for American presidents to take any significant actions that lead to specific consequences. So, the likelihood of any serious moves from Biden was already low, and now it’s almost approaching zero.
Expected

Igor Yakovenko

I think that in this case, wishful thinking is being mistaken for reality. The war will not end in 2025, even if something unlikely happens and all the points of the victory plan are fulfilled. Referring to the victory plan that Zelensky presented on October 16, 2024.
Expected

Igor Yakovenko

It’s clear that Biden won’t be visiting Europe before the end of his term. At least, the likelihood of that happening is close to zero.

Igor Yakovenko

Most likely, this conflict will gradually subside... I think this situation will slowly die down. Referring to the recent situation where Kadyrov declared blood vengeance.

Igor Yakovenko

For me personally, these details reinforce my confidence that Trump will not help Ukraine or will hinder assistance to Ukraine. If he becomes president.

Igor Yakovenko

Most likely, this will happen today, so I will cautiously say that this sensational news will occur. Today, Antony Blinken is arriving in Kyiv... The USA will allow Ukraine to use American long-range weapons to strike at Russia.

I highly doubt that anything threatens Gerasimov. I would be very surprised if he is punished. Due to the advance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine into the territory of the Kursk region of Russia.

I don't think that Arestovych has a chance to return to Ukrainian politics.

Most likely... they will return an urn with the ashes. Context: After Alexei Navalny's death, his body is not being released to relatives for a long time.

Igor Yakovenko

This is my prediction: he will not be allowed... My prediction is that it is most likely that Nadezhdin will be removed from the race. Boris Nadezhdin will not be allowed to participate in the presidential elections.

What will happen? There is an opinion that there will definitely be some turmoil in the Caucasus... I think that none of this will happen. In the event of Ramzan Kadyrov's death.

Igor Yakovenko

Putin will not release Navalny... there are two people that Putin will not let go. I understand that I could be wrong, but nonetheless, I have been following this for a long time. These are two personal enemies of Putin: Alexei Navalny and Vladimir Kara-Murza.

Igor Yakovenko

Girkin is likely not very dangerous. Of course, no one will release him because he possesses unpleasant information. He is not the main one responsible for the destruction of the Malaysian Boeing.

Igor Yakovenko

There is no chance that any of the Western leaders will say a word for Kara-Murza and that he will be freed - this is very unlikely... A swap is extremely unlikely. People like him are not exchanged. Neither Navalny, nor Kara-Murza, nor Yashin.

Igor Yakovenko

He is unlikely to expect that due to his attacks, Putin will remove Beglov. This is out of the question... Beglov is quite satisfactory to Putin. And of course, under such pressure, Beglov will never be dismissed... Under no circumstances will Prigozhin's actions achieve success.

Plus, the governors, who undoubtedly, without a doubt, each dream of becoming the head of an independent state. There is not a single Russian governor who does not dream of becoming the head of an independent state. And as soon as the Putin regime starts to crack, they will try to realize their dream

And he will continue the mobilization... and then in December, it’s absolutely clear that another round of mobilization will begin.

Russia will disappear as a serious player in the Middle East after some time.

Igor Yakovenko

I don't think that Prigozhin, like Kadyrov, is capable of taking any serious political position in present-day Russia... It is impossible to imagine that they would become some kind of ministers or head a federal structure.

Igor Yakovenko

The likelihood that she will receive it is extremely low. I think that Ukraine will not receive nuclear weapons either, although it could create them itself. Poland and Ukraine will not receive nuclear weapons.

Igor Yakovenko

I am not sure that there will be very fierce street battles... a significant number of occupiers will prefer to leave... Kherson is likely to be de-occupied in the coming days.

Negotiations? No one will go to the negotiating table with him. Ukraine will not engage in negotiations with him, which is quite obvious, until he withdraws his troops... to the 1991. To the 1991 borders

I think that Kadyrov will not leave. Commenting on Kadyrov's statement that he has been sitting in his position for too long.

The option in which this regime will be destroyed and the war will end because the Russians will rise up does not exist. We just need to get rid of these illusions.

I am absolutely convinced that after the war, after Ukraine's victory, radical changes will occur in the UN. Either it will be reformed, or, more likely, another organization will be created alongside it, where there will be no veto power and no Russia.

For Putin, any transfer of power simply means physical death, just physical death.

I think that Russia after Putin simply will not remain as a unified state within the borders it currently occupies... the probability of this is very high, not one hundred percent, but high

Igor Yakovenko

In general, the idea that Putin will pass power to someone, I believe the probability of such an event is also zero... Putin will not transfer power.

Regarding the second question about him passing his throne to his daughter, I think the probability of such an event is zero; it is not close to zero, it is simply zero. About Putin transferring power to his daughter.

It's pointless. It's understood that YouTube is just a fraction of political information... so this will not happen. About the possible blocking of YouTube in Russia.
