Putin: Minsk agreements no longer exist
The Minsk agreements were destroyed by Ukraine long before Russia recognized the LDPR.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this at a press conference today, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

“Through the efforts of the Kyiv authorities, everything was reduced to zero. The Minsk agreements were killed long before yesterday’s recognition of the people’s republics of Donbass.
Actually, the recognition was dictated by the fact that the leadership of Ukraine began to publicly declare that they are not going to fulfill these agreements,” he noted.
“What should we expect next: continued mockery of people, genocide of 4 million people? We were forced to accept this decision. In this sense, yes, of course, now the Minsk agreements do not exist, so why implement them if we recognized the independence of these entities,” Putin said.
