I’ve said it before..the entire world would have been better off now had the Minsk Agreements been honored. Leave it up to Biden, his handlers and the EU morons to screw EVERYTHING up.
As my old man used to say some people just can’t stand prosperity.
Let’s see Daily and spot reports from the Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine
created by Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe - Wikipedia
. In these reports they use terms “Armed Forces of Ukraine” and for those who fight them they use “armed formations”.
for 3 July 2020 it is written there Spot Report 36/2020: Members of the armed formations continued to deny SMM patrols passage at checkpoints in Donetsk and Luhansk regions
for 1 July 2020 it is written there Spot Report 35/2020: SMM cameras damaged at the Oktiabr mine near non-government-controlled Vesele
for 27 June 2020 OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) Daily Report 152/2020 issued on 27 June 2020
it is written there “It recorded weapons in violation of the withdrawal lines in non-government-controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions”
for 25 June 2020 OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) Daily Report 150/2020 issued on 25 June 2020
it is written there “it observed military-style parades in non-government-controlled Donetsk and Luhansk cities, including with weapons in violation of the withdrawal lines”
======== Net net — the DPR and LPR violated the Minsk agreements.
The Minsk agreement, signed by Russia, states that all foreign mercenaries (including all russians) need to leave the combat zone. Russia did not do this.
The DPR representative, who signed the Minsk protocol, almost immediately afterwards declared that they would retake lost territory to Ukraine with “heavy battles”. This is against the Minsk Protocol.
Both LPR and DPR representatives said that they won’t adhere to the Minsk Agreements anymore after they won some battles that already violated the agreements.
Russia said that Ukraine needed to pass an amnesty bill for the fighters in DPR and LPR, something that was never discussed in the Minsk Agreements.
Literally everyone violated the Minsk Agreements, but by far the most violations came from DPR, LPR, pro-russian forces in Ukraine, and Russia itself. Russia even officially withdrew from the Minsk Agreements in 2016 despite signing them.
So tell me:
WHY DIDN’T RUSSIA FOLLOW THE MINSK AGREEMENTS?
