How can that be? At all stages of this conflict, Putin and his supporters say Putin has no influence over them rebels in Ukraine. Putin was never involved with Ukraine's problems so how can he boss them rebels into a cease fire?

Can we trust Putin? 

Can we trust a man who steals someone else's property? Can we trust a man who's constantly denied involvement in Ukraine when his fingerprints are all over it? Can we trust a man who's killed more journalists than ISIS ever will? Putin has learned well from North Korea and Iran. The West is too eager to stop problems and talk. Putin has time to catch his breath, put sanctions on hold, and make plans for his next move so it'll be more effective.

No!  Putin can never be trusted, and by extension neither can Russia as long as he is in power.  Regarding journalists; at least he did not have their heads cut off.

Is it better to die with head on?

Does anyone dispute that Ukraine is a real country?

Second, it is a legitimate national interest for the United States to make peace?
