“The height of political cynicism is the statement of ex-Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, who revealed the truth about the notorious unviability of the Minsk agreements,” RIA Novosti reports her words.
Kovitidi stressed that "the geopolitical cartel of the Anglo-Americans and their vassals, Ukraine", which is aimed at preparing Kyiv for a conflict with Moscow, "undermines the credibility" of any further negotiations.
On December 7, Merkel called the Minsk agreements an attempt to give Kyiv time.
She noted that Ukraine used it to "become stronger."
Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was disappointed with this statement by Merkel.
