Russian President,
Vladimir Putin, is mounting a diplomatic blitz on the sidelines of a summit of
European and Asian leaders opening Thursday in a bid to escape the Ukraine
Crisis. Putin will discuss Ukraine
during a working breakfast with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and key
European leaders off to the side. He may also talk to Petro Poroshenko in
private. The trip offers Putin the first
chance to discuss the Ukrainian crisis with European leaders since his visit to
France in June to attend the D-Day anniversary. Vladimir Putin's arrival in
Milan started protests before he even got there. European
and Asian leaders are gathering in Milan for the 10th ASEM summit, which aims
to forge closer economic and cultural ties and confront common threats. The
two-day summit opens against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine,
student protests in Hong Kong and escalating concerns about the Ebola virus.
Petro Poroshenko talked to Vladimir Putin over the telephone and said that he
hopes to see changes for the better after this meeting.
In my opinion I think that Vladimir Putin should have
never got involved with the Ukraine and avoided this entire situation. He has
caused an international turmoil, when there are already many international
crisis to deal with first. I think that by the leaders of Europe and Asia have
to solve this quickly, so they can go help Syria and Iraq with ISIS before ISIS
takes over Syria and Iraq
