Speaking on WBEZ Worldview, Carnegie’s Andrew S. Weiss explained that there is little expectation that the Ukraine crisis will be settled soon. Meaningful, honest conversation with the Russia has broken down, the EU is struggling to find internal consensus on dealing with the situation, and the conversation in Washington is increasingly dominated by discussions of military aid. Given Ukraine’s legacy of not implementing IMF programs, there is also a growing fear that the Ukrainian government, despite all of its promises, will underdeliver on much needed reforms, he added.
