This opinion was expressed by journalist Ted Snyder in an article published in the publication of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Government The Responsible Statecraft.
On November 15, Zelensky said that Kyiv does not intend to conclude new Minsk agreements with Moscow, "because Russia will violate them immediately after the conclusion."
“Zelensky’s words in Bali, although diplomatically well-chosen for his target audience, do not accurately reflect the story,” the journalist said.
Snyder recalled that it was Ukraine, and not Russia, that used the time provided by the agreements to build up its military forces.
According to Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the words of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky that there will be no Minsk-3 confirm Kyiv's unwillingness to negotiate.
