Putin and Trump

These two leaders met in Alaska yesterday. They failed to reach an agreement on peace in Ukraine.

I gather the Ukrainian leader is travelling to Washington for talks with President Trump on Monday. I hope the president treats him better than the last time he went to Washington which won President Trump no friends around the world. It was utterly disgraceful.

We all want peace in Ukraine. I hope a settlement can be reached that is fair to everyone so all think they have won.

In my mind I think something like Germany after WW2 might work: clearly Russia has influence in the east of Ukraine and in Crimea. Maybe (for now) there is Western Ukraine and Eastern Ukraine. In 30 years time things could be very different as in Germany.

Whatever the final outcome Ukraine MUST be involved.
