That’s not the conclusion of many, including German nationals. Like the EU commissioner Van Der Loon, who stated there are over 100,000 dead Ukie soldiers in her speech last week, ( the EU struck that statement from office transcripts), what Merkel said can not be retracted….she ( they) had no intentions of abiding by the Minsk Agreements, it was a ploy to buy time for the US to arm up the Ukies, all to obvious now.
Moronic. Minsk 2 was signed on February 2015. First weapons delivered to Ukraine, the javelins, was on April 30, 2018 by the Trump administration. Slowest 'arm up' ever.
