RUSSIA--Overall, the signing of the tripartite agreement on the dismantling of Kiev's nuclear weapons can be characterized as the main result of Bill Clinton's visit to Moscow. That was done on Yeltsin's initiative. At the same time no major progress was made in the bilateral Russian-U.S. relations. But then, what progress can one expect if everything could not have been better in that area: President Boris Yeltsin and President Bill Clinton are friends, just as the people of the Russian Federation and the people of the United States of America are friends.

BILL CLINTON'S SUMMIT
GERMANY--This was Bill Clinton's summit and Boris Yeltsin was named America's junior partner--not a bad outcome for the two men, but scarcely a promotion for the old Europe. In return for a small porcelain figure depicting Clinton playing the saxophone, Yeltsin was given . . . a demonstrative embrace by his American counterpart. This was intended to demonstrate to the world: Yeltsin is our man.
It will be more difficult to sort out the entire legacy of Soviet communism than it was to contain it. But who said foreign policy was easy? For the time being, Bill Clinton has made a good start, and the Europeans have no need to resent his star performance. Left to themselves, they would have done about as well as they have in Bosnia.

FRANCE--Bill Clinton will perhaps be able to add his name to the list of U.S. presidents who won the Cold War . . . . Yesterday's signing [denuclearization of Ukraine] is the crowning of Bill Clinton's first trip to Europe. He celebrated it in advance by playing the saxophone in Boris Yeltsin's dacha . . . . The Clinton administration hopes that North Korea is closely watching what is taking place in Ukraine.
