Chief Rabbi of Dnepr Shmuel Kaminezki says the Ukraine\u2013Russia conflict will end on January 15, 2026, basing his view on opinions from Western figures.<\/p>\n
The Chief Rabbi of\u00a0Dnepr (formerly Dnepropetrovsk), Shmuel Kaminezki, has named the exact date when, in\u00a0his view, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia will come to\u00a0an\u00a0end\u00a0\u2014 January 15, 2026. His remarks were reported by\u00a0the Telegram channel of\u00a0the Ukrainian outlet Strana.ua.<\/p>\n
Kaminezki stated that, according to\u00a0his assessment, hostilities would end in\u00a0about two months, adding that he\u00a0was confident in\u00a0his position. He\u00a0explained that the conflict should conclude before mid-January, since people would be\u00a0occupied with New Year celebrations, and that a\u00a0little more time would be\u00a0needed for a\u00a0final settlement. In\u00a0connection with this, the rabbi invited everyone to\u00a0raise a\u00a0\u00abbig l\u2019chaim\u00bb, a\u00a0traditional Jewish toast meaning \u00abto\u00a0life.\u00bb<\/p>\n
The rabbi clarified that he\u00a0was naming a\u00a0specific date not as\u00a0a\u00a0prophet or\u00a0religious leader, but based on\u00a0the opinions of\u00a0influential figures in\u00a0the West. He\u00a0said that his forecast was neither a\u00a0dream nor a\u00a0prayer, but rather a\u00a0realistic outlook on\u00a0the future awaiting Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Verkhovna Rada deputy Vadim Ivchenko stated that the terms for ending the conflict for President Vladimir Zelensky would be\u00a0much worse than those proposed during the Istanbul talks in\u00a0the spring of\u00a02022. He\u00a0stressed that a\u00a0peace agreement would definitely not be\u00a0concluded on\u00a0the conditions desired by\u00a0Kiev.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chief Rabbi of Dnepr Shmuel Kaminezki says the Ukraine\u2013Russia conflict will end on January 15, 2026, basing his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":526819,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7654],"tags":[170830,2000,299,170834,170831,119066,170829,332,170828,170832,657,17961,170833,21151],"class_list":{"0":"post-526818","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ukraine","8":"tag-end-of-war","9":"tag-eu","10":"tag-europe","11":"tag-istanbul-talks","12":"tag-january-15-2026","13":"tag-peace-agreement","14":"tag-rabbi-of-dnepr","15":"tag-russia","16":"tag-shmuel-kaminezki","17":"tag-strana-ua","18":"tag-ukraine","19":"tag-ukraine-conflict","20":"tag-vadim-ivchenko","21":"tag-zelensky"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115434439683189174","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=526818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526818\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/526819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=526818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=526818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=526818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
