RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE!
RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE!
RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE!
Now pat yourselves in the back, ya weasels.

In 2014, DPR and LPR declared their independence from Ukraine. Thereupon, Ukraine attacked the the DPR and LPR. With help from Russia, the DPR and LPR fended off Ukraine until Ukraine begged and pleaded for a ceasefire which resulted in the MINSK I and II ceasefire agreements. See below:

Minsk I (2014) provided:

3- Decentralisation of power, including through the adoption of the Ukrainian law "On temporary Order of Local Self-Governance in Particular Districts of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts".

Minsk II (2015) provided (excerpts):

Immediately, no later than in 30 days since the date of the signing of the given document, to adopt a Verkhovna Rada [Ukrainian parliament] resolution to specify the territory to which the special regime applies in accordance with the law of Ukraine "On the special procedure of local self-governance in some districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions" on the basis of the line set by the Minsk memorandum of 19 September 2014.
9. Restoration of full control over the state border in the whole zone of the conflict on the part of the Ukrainian government, which should begin on the first day after local elections and finish after an all-inclusive political settlement (local elections in separate districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions on the basis of Ukraine's law, and constitutional reform) by the end of 2015, providing the implementation of clause 11 - in consultations and with the agreement of representatives of separate districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions within the framework of the Tripartite Contact Group.
11. Realization of constitutional reform in Ukraine, with the new constitution to enter into force by the end of 2015, and assuming as a key element the decentralization (taking into account the peculiarities of certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as agreed with representatives of these districts), and the enactment of permanent legislation on the special status of certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions in accordance with the measures specified in the footnotes, until the end of 2015 (see footnotes)
12. Issues related to local elections shall be discussed and agreed with representatives of certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions within the framework of the Tripartite Contact Group on the basis of the Ukrainian law "On the temporary procedure for local self-government in certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions". Elections shall be held in compliance with the relevant OSCE standards and monitored by the OSCE ODIHR [Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights].
Footnotes:
Such measures in accordance with the law "On the special procedure of local self-governance in some districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions" include the following:
- Freedom from punishment, persecution and discrimination for individuals connected to the events that took place in certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions;
- Right to self-determination of language;

Note: The UN Security Council, Resolution 2202 (2015), Adopted by the UN Security Council at its 7384th meeting, on 17 February 2015, states in relevant part, "1. Endorses the "Package of measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements", adopted and signed in Minsk on 12 February 2015 (Annex I)"

Note carefully that Ukraine did not have full control of its borders before or after the Minsk agreements, nor at any time up to the present.

The government had no support for the agreement it signed and never had any intention to implement it.

As the ceasefire agreement of MINSK I (2014) AND II (2015) was never implemented, the armed conflict since 2014 has never ceased, and continues to this day.

While DPR and LPR declared their independence in 2014, Russia did not officially recognize them as free, sovereign and independent states until 2022. After said recognition, offcial diplomatic relations were established and the DPR, LPR and the Russian Federation entered into a mutual defense pact. Upon the first aggressive act after that, the Russian Federation was obliged to come to the aid of DPR and LPR, just as surely as the United States if a NATO nation had been attacked. Acting under the umbrella of the mutual defense pact, Russia commenced its highly successful Special Operation in aid of its allied nations, acting to repel the neighboring mongrels and the Nuland government.
