In a recent interview with a German publication, former Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the 2014 ceasefire agreement under the Minsk Protocol was meant to give Ukraine time to build up its military. She admitted that Russia could easily have overrun Ukrainian troops in 2015 and doubted if NATO countries could have done as much then as they do. Russia has reacted to Merkelβs interview as a confirmation of Germanyβs βduplicityβ regarding the war in Ukraine. Moscow said that Merkel, through her statement, has exposed that the West never planned to follow the peace accord.

You're spreading misleading disinformation and downright lies! Tell your audience, why you pretend to cite some interview without sharing a link to it?
In that interview, Merkel explicitely states that the goal of the Minsk Agreements was to prevent war. Later, when the interviewer tried to get her to admit that the effort to make peace with Russia was a mistake, she defensed herself by saying that there was no better alternative. Thanks to Minsk Agreements, at least Ukraine got time to prepare for invasion. That's quite a difference from saying that it was a primary goal of the agreements? Don't you think?
THE BRUTAL FACT is that the collective West didn't even wanted to resolve the issue peacefully, even if they cheat on Russia… NO, they wanted a blood war against Russia,using ukraine's people as a gun meat. How many times did Russia asked for the general European security plan for everyone's safety?
Same thing they doing to Serbia, a small sovereign country in the mid Europe, and ripping off 15% of their territory, all the time imposing them with some "peaceful" agreements.
This single interview casts a different shadow on the whole world's order!
Putin is a player he is not fighting the new world order…Merkel is hitlers daughter and so is terresa may sent to do a deal with her sister there Obama aunties aswell π
π’sad people jump to other issues but not stay on the real issue!
Nuke India ππππ₯³π₯³π₯³
Nato blatantly wanted a war,and connived and schemed against unsuspecting Russia, like a gang of thugs!
Disband that criminal organization, called nato and its task master, the usa.
Watch carefully at 1:40 and you will see a fly buzzing around zelenskee's head looking for a favorable place to land. Kinda says it all methinks.π
What do one expect from a woman who have no kids or husband, she definitely wouldnβt know how to feel right or wrong, she is just a walking πΆββοΈ contradiction
russians are liars
RUSSIA SHOULD TURN OFF THE GAS TO EUROPE AND BOMB BERLIN, LONDON AND WASHINGTON WITH NUCLEAR BOMBS!! AS PUTIN SAID: IF THERE IS NO RUSSIA IN THE WORLD, WHY DO WE NEED SUCH A WORLD "!! FEAR THE WESTERN SCARTERS!!! .RUSSIA SHOULD BECOME BRAUD, GREEDY, FALSE, AGGRESSIVE AND BRUTAL AS A WESTERN CIVILIZATION THEN THE WESTERN CIVILIZATION WILL BE REALLY AFRAID OF RUSSIA!!! .RUSSIA SHOULD DROP TWO NUCLEAR BOMBS ONE ON BERLIN AND ONE ON LONDON AS THE AMERICANS DROPPED ON JAPAN IN AUGUST 1945, THEN THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE AFRAID AND SHIT IN THE PANTS FROM RUSSIAN POLICY!!! DO NOT TRUST A LYING WESTERN CIVILIZATION NEVER HAVE A GENETIC LIE!! .TO DESTROY UKRAINE COMPLETELY AND INCLUDED UKRAINE IN THE RUSSIAN TERRITORY!!
It is like the North American Indian wars.. Make an agreement.. Break an agreement.. 'White Man' speak with forked tongue.
Who started the war?
Odnorazovye. They're called in Russia. Clueless Russian youngsters shot to pieces.
Poor Putin. Causing so much harm in his own country. Loveless.
And as written: "If you don't have love, you don't know God".
Merkel was replaced by US Puppet Scholz
No pity for Ukraine.
Zenlesnk is the big problem on this war and the west and America they a the biggest problem
Where is this supposed interview? How come I can't find it anywhere?
I think the problem is lack of political imagination with today's politicians continuing to do things according to the past. Here in the UK, regional borders are sometimes changed with zero effect upon political stability; hopefully globalization may do the same for national borders.
this is how truth twisted out
isnt in 1991 republics left th esoviet union?
how that happened?
the reason was the UN charters about minorities and indigeous people
as ukraine with a simple vote left sovietunion, tthen same law apply on the russian minorities
donbass already voted twice, they DO NOT want kiev
was ukraie called rebels?
was ukraine called separatist?
ukraine dont have no any respect on their minorities
Now they got HIMARs and in another 10 years they will get nukes.
Well I guess east should help the west with jing-jang mentality, but in reality the western mentality sees this as a weakness to exploit one way or another.
The rest you can figure on your own with a little imagination and thinking.
Someone need to find sacrificial rams for his misery. Typical for loosers, kgb agents and parasites. π
All Russia wanted was the safety of the Russian speaking people in Donbass region of Ukraine, they never wanted it for themselves!
France and Germany were required to monitor the treatment of autonomy of these Donbass people, but they didn't care! If Putin had refused to sign the Minsk agreement, and forcibly taken Donbass back in 2014, a major war could have been stopped!
All that paperwork did was just give time to Ukraine to get invaded! And now who looses? The innocent people!
Yes , of course , hope will destroy soon all that Ucraine
Because it's a lie everyone knows you can't trust Putin as he will go back on any world he comes out with. Eastern Europe and the UK seeing it coming stopped using russian gas and oil a few years back sadly Germany failed to stop and was paying the price now for trusting Putin's Russia as this has proven once and for all never trust a russian. And really dam right giving Ukraine time to train and build up forces as Russia was always going to go back on it's words and start trouble like always .
