Obama and Putin to hold talks at UN

We have heard about the first face-to-face meeting between President Obama and Vladimir Putin.  The meeting did not go as planned.  This article talks about how it has been a year since their meeting.  Really?Has it already been a year since the meeting between President Obama and Vladimir Putin?  Yes it has. 

The article talks about the main purpose of this meeting was to make sure Russia is abiding by the terms of ceasefire in Ukraine negotiated in Belarus back in February.  The meeting is suppose to be held on Monday in New York.  It also talks about the different accusations that Russia has been accused of by the US.

The article also states that the meeting between President Obama and President Putin may take place before or after Putin speaks at the UN.  Putin is also going to be meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.  The meeting of President Putin and the Japanese Prime Minister is also to be held on Monday.

How will Monday's meeting go between President Obama and President Putin?  There may or may not be any progress like last time, but we will soon find out.
