Diplomacy and Ukraine

Nick am asks why did diplomacy fail and why did we end up in a military conflict. What do you think the prospects are now for some kind of, if not diplomatic settlement, some kind of cessation of hostilities? And at what point does diplomacy say that there are compromises? Nick Am: We'll see how this plays out. The combination of economic sanctions and sanctions being placed on russians is going to cause pain for russia. But as we're seeing from protest movements and an concern in Russia, there is an ethical concern that this is a fratricidal conflict.
