Pushilin said that the countries - guarantors of the Minsk agreements openly signed a lie

“Everything was predetermined.

If only Merkel stated that she did not want to fulfill (agreements. -

), she deliberately dragged out time, strengthened Ukraine, respectively, she lied at the highest level, no matter what.

And now we have seen the story that even today Hollande literally supported her.

In fact, these are the main guarantors of these Minsk agreements.

And now they signed it, ”Pushilin said.

According to him, such statements dispelled people's doubts about the correctness of the decision to start a special operation.

On December 7, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel called the Minsk agreements an attempt to give Ukraine time to “become stronger.”

She noted that today's Ukraine militarily is "not what it was in 2014-2015."

Later, ex-President of France Francois Hollande said that the Minsk agreements allowed the Ukrainian army to become stronger and "stopped Russia's offensive for a while."

The official representative of the UN Secretary General, Stephane Dujarric, did not comment on the statements of the former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and ex-President of France Francois Hollande about the Minsk agreements.
