a)The purpose of diplomacy is to strengthen the state, nation, or organization it serves in relation to others by advancing the interests in its charge. To this end, diplomatic activity endeavours to maximize a group's advantages without the risk and expense of using force and preferably without causing resentment.
b)The conflict between Russia and Ukraine will affect the global economy via three main channels: financial sanctions, commodities prices and supply-chain disruptions.]]> 2022-03-28 05:03:14 UTC https://padlet.com/best_of_mjr/c66f5faojeki08j9/wish/2116395323 what is diplomacy (kf) https://padlet.com/best_of_mjr/c66f5faojeki08j9/wish/2116400533 a)The word diplomacy originally came from the ancient Greek term diplōma meaning “an object folded in two”. This referred to a document allowing one to travel or be permitted special privileges, often tied to the role of a diplomat. 
The importance of Diplomatic activities is to maximise the position and power of different countries without bringing intense risk or repercussions, and this is the safest way to handle international business and relationships. Even though diplomacy can’t always promise friendships between countries, it can at least usually guarantee neutrality over hostility. one example of the importance of diplomacy is Economic diplomacy , it is a process where countries tackle the outside world to maximise their national gain in all the fields of activity, including trade, investment and other forms of economically beneficial exchanges, where they enjoy comparative advantage.



b) If diplomacy were not in existence, international organizations would not exist. The world would be at a constant state of war, and war would in fact never end because they normally end with diplomatic negotiations .To interact without diplomacy would typically limit a state's foreign policy actions to conflict or espionage. In that sense, diplomacy is an essential tool required to operate successfully in today's international system.

a) Throughout 2021 and 2022, a Russian military buildup on the border of Ukraine escalated tensions between the two countries and strained their bilateral relations, with the United States sending a strong message that an invasion would be met with dire consequences for Russia's economy.The Russo-Ukrainian War is an ongoing war between Russia (together with pro-Russian separatist forces) and Ukraine. It began in February 2014 following the Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity, and initially focused on the status of Crimea and parts of the Donbas, internationally recognised as part of Ukraine.
b)Russia’s disinformation campaign has had some success within its own country. This is because Russian media is tightly policed.
Many Russians, especially seniors, who have access only to local news media believe that the Russian army would never target civilians, and that it is the Ukrainians who are killing their own people. However, Russians who are more exposed to
global affairs know that this narrative is untrue. They have tried to make themselves heard by protesting, even though it is illegal to do so in Russia and protesters are often treated brutally.
Thousands have taken to the streets in Russian cities to protest against the war. A social media video released by human rights group Amnesty International on March 15 said that at least 13,800 protesters in Russia have been arrested since Feb 24. On March 14, a TV editor at Russia’s Channel One disrupted a live news broadcast. Ms Marina Ovsyannikova, holding an anti-war sign with a mix of Russian and English words, stood
behind the news anchor. In Russian, her sign said: ”Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.” She was later arrested and fined]]> 2022-03-28 05:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/best_of_mjr/c66f5faojeki08j9/wish/2116405794 yihan iqa https://padlet.com/best_of_mjr/c66f5faojeki08j9/wish/2116406359 the profession, activity, or skill of managing international relations, typically by a country's representatives abroad.diplomacy, the established method of influencing the decisions and behaviour of foreign governments and peoples through dialogue, negotiation, and other measures short of war or violence.]]> 2022-03-28 05:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/best_of_mjr/c66f5faojeki08j9/wish/2116406359 cAdEn and JINGRUIIIII https://padlet.com/best_of_mjr/c66f5faojeki08j9/wish/2116406406 Putin consulted with a fortune teller
