After a four-nation tour that started in Europe and ended in Saudi Arabia, the song remains the same for President Barack Obama and Ukraine. Obama ended the trip in the same situation, facing great uncertainty about a diplomatic solution.

From the heart of Europe to the expanse of Saudi Arabia's desert, Obama's weeklong overseas trip amounted to a reassurance tour for stalwart, but sometimes skeptical, American allies. At a time when Obama is grappling with crises and conflict in both Europe and the Middle East, the four-country swing also served as a reminder that even those longtime partners still need some personal attention from the president.
