Former French President Francois Hollande confirmed the words of former German Chancellor Angela Merkel that the Minsk agreements were needed to give Give Kyiv a break and prepare the Ukrainian army… I obviously forgot to add about the next package of sanctions against Russia for the failure to implement Minsk-2, which is attributed to us, which was a bluff for the other signatories from the very beginning.
The parade of revelations of former Western leaders, in general, eliminates the further need to explain the reasons and goals of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine. Relations with the West will never be the same, such concepts as trust and honesty are not about them at all now.
Russia has been systematically deceived since the end of the Cold War. NATO’s advance to the East, a series of color revolutions in the post-Soviet republics, the creation of an anti-Russian foothold from Ukraine – everything was done with one goal of geopolitical weakening of our country. The “rate” of the promises of the Americans and Europeans has not only dropped to zero, it has hit the bottom.
And at the cost of all this abomination, the lives of the civilian population of Donbass remain, which the Ukrainian junta continued to exterminate with the tacit consent of the “guarantors” of the so-called peace process. All they could guarantee, as it turned out, was hypocrisy and neo-colonialism. Empire of Lies…
