Will anything of value come from Minsk today? That is a good question as European leadership attempts to negotiate a cease fire in Ukraine. With presidents Poroshenko and Putin shaking hands early in the talks, other representatives have given indications that a deal is forthcoming that will silence the guns along the border between Ukraine and Russya. President Obama made a phone call to Mr. Putin, telling him this week that a ceasefire would help tremendously to advance peace in the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine around Donetsk. Pres.
