DISINFO: Zelenskyy's team is not committed to the implementation of the Minsk agreements

SUMMARY

The desire to get out of the Minsk agreements is the desire of both Poroshenko and now Zelenskyy, who are well aware that their implementation threatens not only the complete collapse of this country but also reformatting Ukraine into a more or less human format.

War is what Ukraine is trying to unleash today, turning the civil war in Donbas from smoldering coals into a huge conflagration.

Zelenskiyy's team is not committed to implementing the Minsk agreements. They need them not to be further carried out. So that Russia could be blamed for non-fulfillment.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative alleging that Ukraine does not want to adhere to the Minsk agreements and instead plans to inflame a war in Donbas.

These accusations are made without any evidence. The implementation of the Minsk agreements remains one of the key priorities of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In a recent address, he mentioned that Ukraine will adhere to all agreements aimed at establishing peace in Donbas.

In Donbas, a truce was established in July 2020. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated multiple times that the achievement of a full, comprehensive, and long-lasting ceasefire is one of the key priorities of the Ukrainian government.

Also, based on the daily report of the OSCE Monitoring Mission to Ukraine from 3 April, in violation of the Minsk agreements and withdrawal lines tanks, multiple launch rocket systems, and howitzers were observed in non-government-controlled areas.
