Ukraine peace talks draws leaders to Belarus

     I recently read an article which is linked below, where the leaders of Ukraine, France, Russia, and Germany get together and have a critical peace talk to compromise a solution to end the conflict between the troops in Ukraine and Russian-backed separatists which have killed more than 5,300 people since April. There has been some progress made, Russia's ambassador Alexander Surikov told the press but no details. Some key points that may have been discussed at the talk were about drawing a new line division, withdrawing Russian troops and equipment from eastern Ukraine, securing the Ukraine-Russian border and giving the separatist more autonomy. Donetsk, a city in Ukraine had a Shelling attack Wednesday on a bus station where 19 troops had been killed and 78 wounded. A rocket strike on Tuesday in an eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, where 16 people were killed and 48 wounded. This article reminds me of when I watch Al Jazeera news on TV. They would always being showing conflicts and riots going on in the middle east and around the world. Reading about the shelling attack reminded me of Afghanistan and how the Taliban are destroying the lives of civilians. I like to think, would there ever be peace among the Americans and the Muslims especially in Afghanistan and the middle east. I also would like to add that recently, Obama has been trying to fight ISIL and solicit Congress authorization.
