Fact Injection: 7 Facts About Ukraine

Whatever peace there is in Ukraine is the result of the Minsk
agreements of 2015 signed by Ukraine, Ukrainian Separatists, France
and Germany and endorsed by Russia. The Minsk accords gave the
eastern region protection from attack and some measure of autonomy
— but not independence. On the basis of the agreement, Russia moved
out of the Donbas. However, the Ukrainian government has never
implemented the agreements under which Russian troops left the
border area. From Putin’s view, by breaching these agreements, the
Ukrainian Parliament (notably, over the objection of President
Zelenski) is clearly daring Russia to go back into the Donbas. On

the Minsk accords either. Even now, the separatists are holding
Ukrainian hostages. So, the problem is every side gives lip service
to the Minsk agreements, but it’s all lip, no service. Learn more,
