He discussed this on Valery Savchuk's author program "Different People".
“The Russian-Ukrainian war will end on May 8 or 9. Well, between April 30 and May 8-9, 2025, it’s coming up soon, in just 100 days. The war will come to an end. In fact, the war has already ended. The political aspect of the war concluded after there were three intelligence indicators in November,” asserts Oleg Starikov.
Thus, the guest of the program notes that the political phase of the Russian-Ukrainian war has concluded; only the active phase remains to be finished, which is currently in progress. However, he emphasizes that the actual conclusion of the war will likely occur in several stages.
“The first stage will involve negotiations between Trump, Putin, and Xi. I would include Modi in this and exclude Erdogan. Why? Those who build empires and those who already possess an empire are ready. Turkey is a regional power and is building an empire. India is already 100% an empire. China has been an empire for 5,000 years or however long. Russia is also an empire. The U.S. is an empire too. Statements about Greenland also reflect imperialism. This is not hegemony,” explains Oleg Starikov.
Therefore, the expert concludes, we are moving away from hegemons and transitioning to empires, which signifies a return to 1815 – the Congress of Vienna.
