Ukraine

Ukraine and Russian-backed separtists have declared another truce.  France and Germany have intervened to try to broker this truce.  Will it last?  Does Putin have a goal with this fighting?  For instance, he wanted Crimea.  He didn't want Ukraine to join the EU.  Does he want part or all of Eastern Ukraine?  Does he want to recapture other lands that were once part of the now failed Soviet Union?  

QUESTION(s) of the DAY:

1. Do you think the truce will last?  Why or why not?

2. Do you think Putin has broken any international laws by encouraging the fighting in Eastern Ukraine?  Why or why not?
