Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko says he has support for a peace plan from all leaders who attended a regional summit Tuesday in Belarus, including Russian President Vladimir Putin.

But hours later, it remained unclear what immediate impact that support would have on ongoing fighting in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian forces.

Poroshenko and Putin met face-to-face in Minsk for about two hours in talks aimed at ending the months-long crisis in Ukraine.

It doesn't help when Russian troops are captured 20 - 30 miles inside Ukraine.

They weren't on a border patrol, no matter what the Russian government might say. The Russians are, and have been for some time, fomenting unrest in the Ukraine, arming the separatists and sending their troops in to fight. And the world just sits back and watches Russia tear the country apart, praying that the limited sanctions they have in place will change Russia's course, knowing that to be extremely unlikely.
