My Comment: The devil is always in the details .... and yesterday's Ukraine agreement is totally devoid of them.

And my rational for this analysis is simple .... a critical mass has now been reached where many in eastern Ukraine are now determined to split away from Kiev and no one .... Kiev, Russia, EU, the U.S., etc. .... can stop them.
