Next month at the G-20, which President Obama attends, German Chancellor Merkel and French President Hollande will meet with Vladimir Putin to discuss the increase in fighting in the Ukraine. [see http://www.wsj.com/articles/russia-ukraine-crisis-prompts-meeting-with-putin-at-g-20-summit-1471964484 ]You can bet they have been talking about this all month since the little episode in Crimea which resulted in the deaths of two FSB officers. Since then, Russia has increased the fighting, making us wonder why they are able to do that if those rebel forces are not running their operations at Russian direction. Then, they moved more troops into the region. Those guys have been back and forth so much, they must be tired of traveling.
Curious that there is no mention of the US President who is a lame duck, about to leave office. Not even a whif of discussion about the US position.
