A Putin spokesman called the meeting "a positive step in settlement of the Ukrainian crisis." Merkel is pushing a peace plan said to be in line with what Russia and Ukraine had earlier agreed to last September in Minsk, Belarus.
'); document.write('

The exact details of the new peace proposal remained unclear in the wake of the meeting between the two European leaders and Putin. Under the prior agreement reached in Minsk, Ukrainian leaders and pro-Russian rebels had agreed to a complete ceasefire and a creation of a 30-kilometer buffer zone. They also agreed to remove heavy weaponry from the front lines of the conflict. Since then, however, fighting by both sides continued, and now pro-Russian rebels hold significantly more territory, analysts say.
'); document.write('
'); document.write(' One big question in the latest peace discussion is what would be the starting point for separatist strongholds: the land under rebel control in September and the territory held now, said analyst Michael Kofman of the Wilson Center. The rebels now control about 40% of the territory each of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and about half of the population in both, Kofman said. The region\'s value lies in its coal. It\'s like the West Virginia of the Ukraine, and now Kiev must buy its winter coal back from the rebels.

Merkel will visit with Obama on Monday, when the two leaders are scheduled to talk about Ukraine and Russia, as well as other matters. At the same time, Obama must decide whether to use diplomacy or weapons to resolve the Ukraine crisis. Kiev is seeking U.S. weapons for the ground war with the separatist, and the White House has acknowledged it\'s considering sending "lethal" weapons, including anti-tank and anti-mortar systems, to the out-muscled Urkainian infantry.
