On Feb 28, the intense verbal battle between the United States and Ukraine leaders at the White House attracted worldwide attention, turning what should have been a serious diplomatic event into almost a reality TV show. Some mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, some lamented the absence of diplomatic finesse in less powerful nations. Amid various opinions, French expert and founder of the China-Europe-America Global Initiative, David Gosset, called for a return to rationality: diplomacy is not a reality show and should not be sensationalized. All parties should return to the negotiation table. The Russia-Ukraine conflict cannot be resolved in 24 hours. Focusing on the long and complex negotiation process can achieve a ceasefire and end to the conflict.
