As world leaders scramble to find a diplomatic solution over the ongoing Russia-Ukraine tensions, talk has turned to the 2015 Minsk Agreement as a possible way out of the crisis.

The agreement, the second of its kind (and the one that matters), was hammered out in the Belarusian capital in a bid to end what was then a bloody 10-month conflict in eastern Ukraine.

But Minsk II has never been fully implemented, with its key issues still unresolved. Here's what you need to know:

Don’t remember the details of the Minsk agreement, but I clearly remember the Mink agreement I had with my wife when we were first married... (In 1960 it was still fashionable to kill the little rodents and make nice coats...)

In fact the Biden administration encouraged Ukraine not to abide by the Minsk Agreements they all agreed on.....which is why it was impossible to continue with.

Zelenski has been warned by Right Sector and the Azov Battalion that if he makes any moves to implement the Minsk Agreement he’ll meet the same fate as Yanukovich.

This only comes into play when people want to follow the rules. If they don’t, it isn’t worth the paper it is written on. POutin doesn’t care about it.

By January 2015, the Minsk Protocol ceasefire had completely collapsed. So what are they going to try to bail out Biden with now. It’s the same as using a diplomatic effort with Muslims in the middle east. If the agree to the rules, it never would have happened. But they have their own rules and don’t care about yours.

This is a civil war generated by natural resources and money. What does that have to do with being honorable? And it’s none of our business.

“What is the Minsk agreement”

No clue here. I must have missed that part of Rochelle, Rochelle.

Sorry... Did not mean to offend anyone...
However, I’ve always thought that FDR, Johnson, all Kennedys, both Clintons, and obama were weasels...

The Nazis do not have more than 6-8% support, and mostly in the immediate West of the country.

The Normandy Four met yesterday for nine hours and failed to reach agreement but are to continue the meeting in March. Russia wants Ukraine to agree to the Minsk agreements. Ukraine doesn’t, but may give some.
