Today's Highlighted Video Story: The international response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine has largely been limited to sanctions and condemnation.

The U.S and EU are preparing sanctions targeting Russia's president, but former leader Dmitry Medvedev responded by saying Moscow doesn't really need diplomatic ties with the West. Can anything be done to return to diplomacy?
