Merkel has basically said that the Minsk Agreement was to buy time for Ukraine to build up its army and never was there any intention of allowing the Russians in the Donbas to vote on their own future. Merkel admitted that they negotiated in bad faith with Putin simply to allow Ukraine time to fortify itself thereby buying time to build its army. She also said that at the time, NATO was weak and could not provide support to Kyiv to the extent they do currently. The Minsk agreements were signed to pretend to resolve the Donbas conflict.
The region was never Ukrainian territory. It was occupied by Russians for centuries. The people there had a right to their own lives. The Ukrainians demanded they no longer speak Russian and they sought to deny them even their own region and they were to report to Kyiv – not Moscow. This was like Mexico reclaiming Texas and demanding English was to be outlawed and only Spanish was to be spoken and all religions were to be outlawed except allegiance to Rome.
Furthermore, two heads of state of Russia came from this region Ukraine claims is now theirs and not Russia’s. Does that mean that Khrushchev who rebuilt Kiev after World War II and Brezhnev who was born there in the Donbas, were really Ukrainian?
In truth, during the final signing of the agreement in Minsk, Belarus, the Ukrainian authorities had promised to commit to reforming their Constitution granting autonomy to Lugansk and Donetsk, allowing them to hold local elections in both regions to establish their own independent nations. Yet the Western press calls the Russian action an invasion of their territory when they have refused to honor their word. Make no mistake about it, the Ukrainians would create genocide and slaughter every last Ukrainian Russian as they immediately did in Odessa.
Merkel has been frank and one must question WHY would Putin ever agree to any agreement with Ukraine when they NEVER comply with what they agree to. It is now abundantly clear that the Minsk agreements were NEVER intended to be carried out by the current Kyiv government. They were simply used to buy time to build up their forces for war against Russia.
While Merkel told Die Zeit that there should now be a negotiated settlement, the West has support effectively genocide and refuses to acknowledge anything with regard to the Ukrainian Nazis who they have supported and protected against any prosecution that they carried out against the German Nazis for their war crimes.
Ukraine is at least the most corrupt country in Europe is not the entire world. Even the IMF refused to provide money last year because of the unbelievable corruption. Hunter Biden was put on a board to gain influence with Biden. I refused to deal with them because of unimaginable corruption. You do not count your fingers after shaking hands with the Ukrainian government, you check to see if you still even have an arm.
Western Media refuses to tell the truth and is pushing us into World War III by championing Ukraine without ever looking closely at the facts.

What little is said about the Ukraine by the media, is to portray them as ‘victims’ fighting for their precious Democracy. All propaganda..
Not only propaganda but a complete lie to justify the war to Isolate Russia. Putin has destroyed the E U with the help of their POS leaders! Long Live PUTIN!!! Going to be 50% unemployment in Germany next year! That will be followed by hyperinflation. FUCK THEM ALL. And FUCK JOE BIDEN AND EVERY POS THAT SUPPORTS HIM!
I can’t wait for the 87,000 new weaponized IRS agents. People like me that pay taxes and collect taxes and deposit taxes are going to shut the fuck down and head for the hills. USA Maggots and parasites will starve to death but I think that is part of the plan.
Exit everything the government can control ASAP. Exit the $ before it’s to late. Transfer ALL your wealth into something you can control not Bitcoin or any other fake bullshit creation like paper money. This global shitstorm will bring an end to everything fake including governments that were installed by fake votes.
Everything is going to change soon. The 1% of the top 1% want you dead. You are destroying the earth that belongs to them. They are buying farms just to shut them down while we are having food shortages. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? They are funding your destruction with the tax dollars you send them. Wake up and pull your head out of your ass or you will be history.
Maybe Bidet should send those heavily armed and programmed to kill IRS agents to Ukraine to track down and recover the $100 Billion we’ve thrown into that den of thieves …
The war correspondents better be armed this time because they want the war they can fight it. My 4 boys are staying home.
Feels more like ‘Angela Merkel publicly admits to committing a crime against humanity’ to me.
I think I figured out what the elite want.
Kill off a significant part of the population slowly and then buy up their assets cheaply. Basically, they are nothing more than vultures that spread poison around first, so that they can eat more.
Cued to the main minute or so…
