My Comment: It appears that U.S. National Security Adviser Tom Donilon .... visiting Moscow right now .... gave the Russians something that made them decide to have a Obama-Putin meeting at the G-8 this June .... and a more formal meeting in Moscow in September. It makes you wonder what the U.S. is offering. Missile defense? Nuclear arms reductions? I guess we will have to wait till September.
