Putin needed a success in Ukraine and Germany and France delivered.
Pro-Russian rebels were in trouble, their offensive was loosing steam. So what did Putin do? He proposed the cease-fire talks and Germany's Merkel and France's Hollande jumped for the opportunity. They kept others, namely Polish diplomats, away and did everything to allow Putin win in Ukraine, maybe not on purpose but by arrogance and (let's say it) stupidity.
Have you noticed that everybody says that Ukraine lost railway hub but nobody wants to say that cease-fire was broken? Actually, they say that cease-fire is mostly observed.
