He noted that the agreements, which bear the signatures of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, stipulate that Kiev should talk with the people of Donbass.
According to him, former Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko insisted that the documents be signed by the leaders of the unrecognized republics.
“And now the Kiev authorities don't want to talk to them.
The current Kiev authorities simply have no desire to fulfill the Minsk agreements, ”Putin said.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the team of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky is “wriggling as best it can”, trying to turn the Minsk agreements “upside down,” and the West does not react to this and demonstrates complete helplessness.
