An activist sets a placard depicting US President Donald Trump (L) speaking to Oleg Sentsov "You can go home!" during a rally at Independence Square in Ukrainian capital of Kiev marking Oleg Sentsov birthday on July 13, 2018. The mother of Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov, who has refused food for two months in a Russian prison, has appealed to President Vladimir Putin to pardon him as hopes fade for a speedy release.Supporters on Friday released a letter to Putin from Lyudmila Sentsova as her activist son turned 42 in a jail beyond the Arctic Circle in far northern Russia.Sentsov is serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted on terrorism charges over an alleged arson plot in Crimea. His supporters say the case was trumped up.

Matthew Rojansky, Director of the Wilson Center’s Kennan Institute, told CNN’s Don Lemon Monday evening that Russian President Vladimir Putin had a lot to say about the two-hour meeting with President Donald Trump.

Rojansky began by explaining that it is his job “to watch these kinds of meetings and figure out where the relationship itself is going.”
