The American edition of Responsible Statecraft writes that the United States and the European Union did not even try to influence Ukraine to comply with the Minsk agreements.
“With regard to the Minsk agreements, neither the US nor the EU put serious pressure on Kyiv to comply with its part of the agreement,” the article says.
Experts admitted that, despite Washington’s public rhetoric in favor of the Minsk agreements, the US authorities “did nothing” to force Ukraine to comply with them. In addition, they believe, when addressing the leaders of the G20 countries during the summit in Indonesia, Vladimir Zelensky misrepresented the story when he spoke about a peaceful settlement.
“It was not Russia who used the time provided by the agreements to build up its forces before the violation of the agreement. It was Ukraine,” the article says.
The authors emphasized that the only thing that Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin unanimously agreed on was the opinion that the Minsk agreements are no longer valid.
