Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
John E. Herbst: A gift to Putin

US President Barack Obama and Russia's President Vladimir Putin walk out for a photo op ahead of a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the 70th session of the UN General Assembly at the United Nations headquarters on Sept. 28, 2015 in New York.
An odd thing happened on President Barack Obama's way to New York for meetings at the UN with world leaders. He forgot to schedule a session with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. Of course, New York City is flooded with world leaders at this time of year, and Obama does not have time to meet with all of them.
