@StealthyyyHD Your facts are FALSE.
Minsk I
By January 2015, the Minsk Protocol ceasefire had completely collapsed. Following the separatist victory at Donetsk International Airport in defiance of the Protocol.
Minsk II
The full text of the agreement is as follows:
1. Immediate and full ceasefire in particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine and its strict fulfilment as of 00:00 midnight EET on 15 February 2015.
2. Pull-out of all heavy weapons by both sides to equal distance with the aim of creation of a security zone on minimum 50 kilometres (31 mi) apart for artillery of 100mm calibre or more, and a security zone of 70 kilometres (43 mi) for multiple rocket launchers (MRLS) and 140 kilometres (87 mi) for MLRS Tornado-S, Uragan, Smerch, and Tochka U tactical missile systems:
for Ukrainian troops, from actual line of contact;
for armed formations of particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, from the contact line in accordance with the Minsk Memorandum as of 19 September 2014
The pullout of the above-mentioned heavy weapons must start no later than the second day after the start of the ceasefire and finish within 14 days.
This process will be assisted by OSCE with the support of the Trilateral Contact Group.
3. Effective monitoring and verification of ceasefire regime and pullout of heavy weapons by OSCE will be provided from the first day of pullout, using all necessary technical means such as satellites, drones, radio-location systems etc.
4. On the first day after the pullout a dialogue is to start on modalities of conducting local elections in accordance with the Ukrainian legislation and the Law of Ukraine "On temporary Order of Local Self-Governance in Particular Districts of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts," and also about the future of these districts based on the above-mentioned law.
Without delays, but no later than 30 days from the date of signing of this document, a resolution has to be approved by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, indicating the territory which falls under the special regime in accordance with the law "On temporary Order of Local Self-Governance in Particular Districts of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts," based in the line set up by the Minsk Memorandum as of 19 September 2014.
5. Provide pardon and amnesty by way of enacting a law that forbids persecution and punishment of persons in relation to events that took place in particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine.
6. Provide release and exchange of all hostages and illegally held persons, based on the principle of "all for all". This process has to end – at the latest – on the fifth day after the pullout (of weapons).
7. Provide safe access, delivery, storage and distribution of humanitarian aid to the needy, based on an international mechanism.
8. Define the modalities of a full restoration of social and economic connections, including social transfers, such as payments of pensions and other payments (income and revenue, timely payment of communal bills, restoration of tax payments within the framework of Ukrainian legal field).
With this aim, Ukraine will restore management over the segment of its banking system in the districts affected by the conflict, and possibly, an international mechanism will be established to ease such transactions.
9. Restore control of the state border to the Ukrainian government in the whole conflict zone, which has to start on the first day after the local election and end after the full political regulation (local elections in particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts based on the law of Ukraine and Constitutional reform) by the end of 2015, on the condition of fulfilment of Point 11 – in consultations and in agreement with representatives of particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts within the framework of the Trilateral Contact Group.
10. Pullout of all foreign armed formations, military equipment, and also mercenaries from the territory of Ukraine under OSCE supervision. Disarmament of all illegal groups.
11. Constitutional reform in Ukraine, with a new constitution to come into effect by the end of 2015, the key element of which is decentralisation (taking into account peculiarities of particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, agreed with representatives of these districts), and also approval of permanent legislation on the special status of particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in accordance with the measures spelt out in the attached footnote,[note 1] by the end of 2015.
12. Based on the Law of Ukraine "On temporary Order of Local Self-Governance in Particular Districts of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts", questions related to local elections will be discussed and agreed upon with representatives of particular districts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in the framework of the Trilateral Contact Group. Elections will be held in accordance with relevant OSCE standards and monitored by OSCE/ODIHR.

@nobordersnowelfare7285 >Yeah, maybe they got tired of the killings of Russians in Donbas and Luhansk?
Putin's argument on Ukrainians and Russians being one people was debunked when either side enforced their respective languages, the opposite side complains.
Ukraine still allows English language schools. HAHAHAHAH LOL
Is English taught in Russian schools?
Today, foreign language learning has become compulsory in Russia. Students can choose from different language such as German, French and Spanish. Among the other foreign languages taught in Russia, English is the most widely chosen language by Russian students (Kruglyi stol 2007 cited in Proshina 2010).
Hint: EuroVision's English language dominance.
> The thought of Tomahawks 600 km away from Moscow maybe?
The US has rejected Tomahawks' sales to Israel. Besides the micro-nuclear reactor IP access, Australia needs the AUKUS agreement for Tomahawk cruise missiles.
Moscow has placed nuclear missiles next to the EU countries, hypocrite.
Your argument is Russia 1st.
>Ukraines aspirations of NATO-membership?
Unlike Russia's action against Ukraine, Greece has withdrawn from NATO Command when Turkey invaded Cyprus, hence showing freedom of association.
Unlike Russia's action against Ukraine, the UK has exited from EU while on track to join CPTPP, hence showing freedom of association.
Before Euromaidan,
Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent.
Russia started a series of events that lead to Euromaidan.

@nobordersnowelfare7285 >How about NATOs destruction of Libya, Iraq and Syria?
That's a false equivalence.
Unlike Russia, the US did NOT assimilate Iraq into US federal structure.
>Libya
NATO STOPPED the bloody civil war in Libya.
Putin STARTED the bloody war in Ukraine.
On 16 August 2003, Libya formally admitted responsibility for Pan Am Flight 103 (Lockabie bombing) in a letter presented to the president of the United Nations Security Council.
"On 10 March 2011, France was the first country in the world to recognise the National Transitional Council as the legitimate government of Libya".
>Iraq
Iraq invaded Kuwait. Iraq STARTED the bloody war in Kuwait.
Iraq's top oil exports countries from Jan to Jun 2020
1st, China! 29 million tonnes <---- LOL
2nd, India, 23 million tonnes
3rd, EU, 8 million tonnes
4th, South Korea, 6 million tonnes
5th, Turkey, 4 million tonnes with an upwards trend
5th, USA, 4 million tonnes with a downwards trend
Report: Saudi Arabia Presses U.S. on Overthrowing Saddam Hussein
Date: January 19, 1992
From AP NEWS
NEW YORK (AP) _ Saudi Arabia is pressuring the Bush administration to secretly arm and give intelligence to Iraqi opposition forces so they can work to overthrow Saddam Hussein, a newspaper reported Sunday.
The Saudis want the United States to give arms and intelligence to Kurdish rebels in north Iraq, Shiite Muslim fighters in the south and Sunni Muslim opposition forces in central Iraq, the Times said, quoting U.S. and allied officials it didn’t name.
