Talking to the “enemy”: an interview with Russian Ambassador Stanislav Krans
The reason I chose to interview the ambassador is because I accept as self-evident the truism that all wars end with diplomacy and the sooner we return to diplomacy the better.

If the farming sector is the ‘backbone of the economy’ then why is it that we are struggling to stand upright economically at the moment?
