The Quicky

It's been nearly two weeks since Russia invaded Ukraine, and already there are reports that thousands of people have died, and numerous efforts to end the conflict peacefully through diplomatic talks between the two nations have failed.

Everyone witnessing the violence is desperate for the devastation to stop and the conflict to end once and for all, but how can peace be achieved when Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be showing no mercy?

The Quicky speaks to an expert in international security to consider what the realistic options are for an end to the hostilities, and what impacts they may have on not only the people of Europe, but for the entire world.
