This is a just a brief update post on the latest news articles on these two important stories. In the Ukraine it is hard to tell how successful the ceasefire is so far. Apparently, in some places it is holding up. In other places it is not. The situation remains fluid and far from resolved there.
In Greece, both sides seem firmly dug in with no progress reported Monday which was supposed to be a very important deadline type day. But who really knows when hard ball negotiations are in progress. Until one or both sides blinks, it is not possible to know what a true deadline might be. If neither blink, this situation will enter a whole new world. But we are not at that point yet apparently.
