In Ukraine, There Will Be "No Quick Fixes"

After yesterday’s 5-hour meeting with diplomats from Ukraine and Russia, Germany’s Foreign Minister told reporters: “things can get even worse." Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces have won enough ground to make a ceasefire unlikely — while separatists say new Russian arms and soldiers are on the way. Today, it’s reported that “dozens” of civilians, including children, were killed trying to flee from the fighting with each side blaming the other for the attack. We’ll update the action and what’s at stake for Western Europe, the US, NATO, and Vladimir Putin.

Also, the National Guard is deployed to Ferguson, Missouri, and conversations with “The Most Wanted Man in the World.”
