As of January 2023, the Russia–Ukraine war is capable of continuing as an ongoing conflict for another 2–3 years beyond this point without a forced resolution.
I think that it certainly can go on.View on YouTube
Explanation
Evidence as of November 30, 2025 shows the Russia–Ukraine war is still an active, large‑scale conflict with no imposed settlement, more than 2 years and 10 months after January 2023.
- Major Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv and other regions were reported on November 29, 2025, damaging infrastructure and killing and injuring civilians, demonstrating ongoing high‑intensity hostilities rather than a frozen or resolved conflict. (reuters.com)
- Frontline offensives such as the Kupiansk and Huliaipole operations are described as ongoing campaigns within the Russo‑Ukrainian war, indicating continued maneuver warfare into late 2024 and 2025 rather than a ceasefire or peace deal. (en.wikipedia.org)
- Diplomatic initiatives (e.g., a 2025 UN Security Council resolution on Ukraine and multiple high‑level peace‑plan negotiations) explicitly refer to the war as ongoing and seek to end it, implying that no comprehensive settlement has yet been reached or enforced. (en.wikipedia.org)
From January 27, 2023 (podcast date) to November 30, 2025, the war has persisted without a forced resolution for nearly three years, matching Sacks’s prediction that the conflict was capable of continuing as an ongoing war for another 2–3 years. The realized trajectory of the conflict therefore supports the prediction, so it is best scored as right.
