Fragile hopes for peace in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is meeting his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for the first time at a summit in Paris. The aim is to restart the peace process in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, which has been partially occupied by Russian-backed forces since 2014. Although Zelenskiy has vowed to do all he can to end the war, Kiev is afraid of losing US assistance. This comes as President Donald Trump faces an impeachment inquiry, accused of trying to pressure Kiev into digging up dirt on his potential rival Joe Biden.
