Though the White House has not yet published on its website a readout of US President Trump’s telephone conversation on Saturday with Ukrainian President Poroshenko, it is clear that it did not contain the strong support for Ukraine Poroshenko must have been looking for.
The conversation took place against the backdrop of intense fighting between the Ukrainian military and the eastern Ukrainian militia around the town of Avdeevka in eastern Ukraine.

Donald Trump’s foreign policy team continues along a path of confusion, indecision and borrowing the rhetoric of Obama’s failed flunkies.
Yesterday, the forum was the United Nations where Trump’s UN Ambassador Nikki Haley demonstrated just how little she knows about geopolitical realities.
When addressing the carnage in Donbass, she spoke of the “…aggressive actions of Russia”. I knew right then and there she’d lost the plot.
