No Hollywood-ending in Ukraine | Dr. Matthew Crosston

In this interview, Dr. Matthew Crosston discusses US and Russian perceptions of the war in Ukraine and the development of international relations after the end of the Cold War. He argues for a negotiated settlement and the realization that "Russian security can't be Anti-Russian" while Ukraine must not become another Afghanistan, as he argued in a recent article: https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2022/03/15/russian-security-cannot-be-anti-russian/
