In an interview on Ukrainian television joint organised with Radio Svoboda, Espresso and Nastoyaschee Vremya, Petro Poroshenko the ex-Ukrainian President said “The Minsk agreements gave Ukraine time to build and strengthen the Armed Forces and restore economic growth.” Poroshenko stressed that this was the main task, and it was achieved.
“We have achieved what we wanted. We did not trust Putin and still don’t. Our task was first to avert the threat or at least postpone the war. To give ourselves eight years to restore economic growth and build the strength of the Armed Forces. It was the first task – and it was achieved, “- said Poroshenko.
In reality, Petro Poroshenko signed the Minsk agreement knowing that he would never implement this agreement, instead, he allowed the Nazi Azov battalion to slaughter over 14,000 people living in the Donbass during his term in office from 2014 when he took control of Ukraine after the US-backed coup until he was defeated by Zelnsky in 2018
He went on to say “Despite the fact that the war has lasted for eight years which has been a relatively large-scale military operation, I believe that the Minsk agreements have fulfilled their task”
It would be interesting to know who else involved in the signing and administration of the Minsk agreement knew of the deception behind the signing of this agreement that has seen 10s of thousands of lives lost. All in the name of strengthening Ukraine.
