Guardian: Reports " In the short term, the Franco-German duo appears to have stopped the fighting – for now, at least – prevented further escalation, headed off US pressure to supply arms to Kiev, and dragged the recalcitrant Putin back onboard. Europe can breathe a brief sigh of relief. But the Minsk achievement looks fragile in the extreme...."
Lets Get Real:
The thought that France and Germany solves a military problem will go down like a tone of bricks in Russia, one only has to look how far Russia is fallen, it has to agree terms from Germany and France, memories of World War 2 are still fresh in the Russian mind. At one level it must be major humiliation for Putin, once the might USSR being told what to do BY all people the Germans and Berlin. Of course at the article notes the deal is fragile, it might never happen, will all parties agree to its conditions, will Russian troops leave East Ukraine, NATO will be looking, will the Eastern part of the Ukraine be given home rule from Kiev. This deal is still 50/50, lets see what happens on the ground.
