Ukrainian war correspondent Andriy Tsaplienko predicted in 2014 that the Ukraine-Russia conflict might last a couple of years, a statement that terrified a TV anchor. Over the past decade, Tsaplienko has been detained, beaten, and injured by Russian troops, and he now believes the war could continue for another decade. Both the Ukraine-Russia war and the Israel-Hamas conflict have deep historical roots, raising the question of whether these conflicts will ever truly end. Gideon Rose from the Council on Foreign Relations notes that both conflicts have high, indivisible stakes.
