Trudy Rubin: In Ukraine, some good news on foreign policy
Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko meets Russian President Vladimir Putin at the 70th anniversary of the World War Two in Normandy.
I've got some foreign policy good news. Really. Never mind that U.S. foreign policy appears irrelevant in Gaza, spineless in Syria, irresponsible in Iraq, and grossly stupid in Germany (whoever OKd our dumb spy efforts there should be fired).
There is one important country where U.S. efforts may yet achieve a positive outcome. I'm talking about Ukraine, where Russia's Vladimir Putin has just blinked in his efforts to dismantle the country - in large part because Western sanctions (even mild ones) jeopardized his weak economy.
