Nah, there’s no chance of a rate cut at all. In response to the question: "What do you think about the key interest rate? Nabiullina didn’t lower it on April 25."

I think that if nothing happens and Zelensky doesn’t pull any stunts that seem too much for Trump, then I’m 100% sure he’ll allow the Europeans to buy American weapons for Ukraine.

The market reaction is one thing. The European ultimatum, which Peskov commented on regarding the ceasefire, is another. And the meeting in Istanbul is a third. As for the fundamental and main question — will there be peace? In my opinion, no. Because the positions of the two sides differ drastically.

To imagine that Ukraine would give up or withdraw from the territories of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia — that’s a strange assumption. Even if Trump joins the war alongside Putin, even that won’t lead to Ukraine agreeing to give them up.

Someday, the hot phase of the conflict will come to an end. The sides are currently engaged in a war of attrition. But I don’t really believe in the signing of any peace agreement right now — because the interests of the parties are diametrically opposed.

I predict that in 2025, there will be attempts to ban WhatsApp and Telegram. In Russia.

By the end of the year, I think—let’s make a prediction—I’ll say 120. The exchange rate of the Dollar in Russia by the end of 2025.

It’s clear that nothing is likely to happen with Kherson and Zaporizhzhia next year either. Russia will not capture them.

I think the negotiation process will begin by spring. Talks between Russia, Ukraine, and mediators will start.

Yes, the dollar will keep rising, and it will cross 100 soon. In response to: "So, the dollar at 100 this year?" (100 rubles to the dollar).

I believe that the transition period will come from the top, because no one at the bottom has the resources... The elite will be formed from those people whom you currently hate, among others. Significant changes in Russia will be initiated by the authorities, not by the people.

As I understand it, sanctions will always be tied to the territories that have been newly acquired. And it’s clear that I don’t see any reason for them to be lifted, even if they sign peace ten times. In other words, we’ll be under sanctions for a very long time. Sanctions against Russia won’t be lifted anytime soon, even if Russia reaches a peace agreement with Ukraine.

Trump is the main advocate for fighting with China and bringing all production back to the U.S. But if the Democrats come to power, I think China's policy will very much return to a calm course of agreements on key issues with the Americans. I don't believe they will initiate any large-scale trade wars with the Democrats.

Yes, there is a painful question regarding Taiwan. Well, China has clearly seen that now is not the time to address these issues, at least not through military means. And after the example of Russia, it definitely will not go down that path. I believe it will achieve all its goals anyway. I am absolutely convinced of this. The Chinese know how to be patient. They will take Taiwan, they will take everything they need. Just not right away.

Mobilization will happen; according to my calculations, it should take place in the second half of autumn, well, in autumn... I am sure that it will happen. In Russia.

I don't think so; he will avoid it until the last moment. Response to the question: 'Will Lukashenko join the special military operation?'

I don't think that it will happen. That Boris Johnson will become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom again.
