"Ukraine also agreed to call back its forces from the current contact line with separatist fighters."

I've read that at least fifty times in official announcements over the years since Kiev figured out that taking Donbass back wouldn't be a walk in the park.

No one ever enforces it so some units don't pull back or the Kiev government never issues the order, I don't know which.

The troops aren’t pulling anyway. There is a video on YouTube from the rebel side. The idea is that on agreed day and time both sides are firing a white flare signaling their readiness and leave positions. Important point is the presence of OSCE blue helmets. At agreed time rebels are firing their flare and nothing happens. A rebel commander radios Ukie side and they say they didn’t see it. He said I say you I hired the flare. They say we didn’t see. Rebels fire another flare and situation repeats. Then rebels find English translator and ask OSCE guy to radio blue helmet on Ukrainian side to say flare is fired. He tries but they “have situation” on the other side. That is how Minsk agreement works. And it is allegedly Russian fault.
