Prominent Ukrainian journalist Dmitro Gordon has claimed that the hot phase of the Russia-Ukraine war could end within the next 24 hours, citing the recent pause in Russian attacks and hinting at a crucial diplomatic breakthrough.

Speaking from Washington, Gordon's declaration has rapidly become the dominant topic of discussion across Russian and Ukrainian social media platforms. He states that a "historic meeting" scheduled for Monday will be decisive in this matter, adding that "if everything proceeds according to plan – and everything should proceed according to plan."

To support his forecast, Gordon highlights that Ukraine has experienced no air raid sirens, missile launches, or drone attacks from Russia over the past four days. He attributes this pause to "an explicit request from Washington." Gordon places the likelihood of his scenario unfolding at 90-95%, asserting, "I haven't lost my grip on reality."

While Gordon offered no additional details, social media users have expressed considerable skepticism about the prediction, particularly given his reputation for making sensational claims. Nevertheless, the significance of the subject matter and his position as the country's most followed media personality (measured by subscription numbers and viewership across various platforms) have made this forecast impossible to dismiss.
