What specifically did Putin do?
I'm also curious.
After so many years of listening about how we habitually broke the Minsk II accords, it would be nice to have a list of our infractions.
I can start by calling out how Ukraine refused to honor the agreements, but for this we need to know what was signed, first. Here's the protocol:
1) To ensure an immediate bilateral ceasefire.
2) To ensure the monitoring and verification of the ceasefire by the OSCE.
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".
4) To ensure the permanent monitoring of the Ukrainian-Russian border and verification by the OSCE with the creation of security zones in the border regions of Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
5) Immediate release of all hostages and illegally detained persons.
6) A law preventing the prosecution and punishment of people in connection with the events that have taken place in some areas of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts.
7) To continue the inclusive national dialogue.
8) To take measures to improve the humanitarian situation in Donbas.
9) To ensure early local elections in accordance with the Ukrainian law "On temporary Order of Local Self-Governance in Particular Districts of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts".
10) To withdraw illegal armed groups and military equipment as well as fighters and mercenaries from the territory of Ukraine.
11) To adopt a programme of economic recovery and reconstruction for the Donbas region.
12) To provide personal security for participants in the consultations.
We Russians believe Ukraine failed to deliver on points 3,6, and 9 - big time.
Ukraine says, it didn't do any of those things because we didn't fulfill #10. We argue, that it is clear from how the document is written that the things before #10 have to happen first.
Here we are... 500K dead later.
