Borodai Predicts 2025 as Turning Point in Ukraine Conflict
As the world prepared to ring in 2025, Alexander Borodai, a member of the Russian State Duma and head of the Union of Volunteers from Donbas, delivered a New Year’s message with a strong call for victory. Borodai, in a video address to Russians, asserted that the coming year could be a pivotal moment in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. “We definitely have to win and we have to win fast,” Borodai emphasized. He cautioned against expecting an easier year, stating that 2025 wouldn’t be a simple continuation of 2024, a year marked by intense conflict. “I won’t lie: no hope 2025. be simpler or easier than the year 2024. 2024 it was a arduous, tense, war year, but it was not a turning point. But the 25th year will most likely be a turning point for the entire modern history of Russia and the world,” Borodai explained. Borodai further predicted pressure for a peace agreement in late January or early February, emphasizing that this peace might resemble more of a compromise rather than a decisive victory. He expressed reservations about the desirability of such a peace for Russia. “It is indeed obvious that sometime in late January – early February, around that time…we will be drawn to peace, and it is quite obvious from all current events that this peace will not be our complete, final victory… I am not at all convinced that we need such a peace,” Borodai warned. The full transcript of Borodai’s address can be found on the Telegram channel of the Union of Donbas Volunteers.## Borodai predicts Turning Point in Ukraine Conflict: A Q&A

**Archyde** sits down with Alexander Borodai, a controversial figure and member of the Russian State Duma, to discuss his recent claims about the future of the Ukraine conflict.Borodai, also the head of the Union of Volunteers from Donbas, delivered a fervent New Year’s address where he predicted 2025 as a “turning point” in the ongoing war.
**Archyde:** Mr. Borodai, thank you for speaking with us. Your new Year’s message was quite emphatic about the need for a swift Russian victory. Why do you believe 2025 will be so crucial in achieving this goal?
**Borodai:** Thank you for having me. 2024 was an incredibly challenging year,a year of intense warfare. While we made progress, it wasn’t yet the decisive turning point.
**Archyde:** You mentioned 2025 will be a turning point, yet you also cautioned against expecting an easier year. Can you elaborate on that apparent contradiction?
**Borodai:** The conflict will undoubtedly remain complex. Though, 2025 will be marked by critical shifts in the global landscape. The pressure for a peace agreement will intensify, likely manifesting in late January or early February.
**Archyde:** What kind of peace agreement are we talking about?
**Borodai:** it will likely be a compromise, a negotiated settlement rather than an outright victory for either side.
**Archyde:** Many see your insistence on a “victory” as problematic given the immense human cost of the war. How can you reconcile the concept of victory with the reality of so much suffering?
**Borodai:** The ongoing conflict is indeed tragic,and every loss of life is a tragedy. Though, we are fighting for our national interests, for the security of our people. We believe a strong and stable Russia is essential for peace in the region.
**Archyde:** Some critics argue that a negotiated settlement is the only way to truly end the suffering. Do you believe a purely military solution is attainable?
**Borodai:** We are always open to diplomacy, but only if it respects Russia’s core interests.A negotiated peace must acknowledge the legitimate security concerns that led to this conflict.
**Archyde:** Your words are sure to be met with both support and condemnation. What message do you have for the international community as we enter this potentially crucial year?
**Borodai:** The world is at a crossroads. 2025 will determine the course of history not just for Russia and Ukraine, but for the entire world. We urge all parties to engage in constructive dialog and work towards a lasting and just peace.
