Exactly. Ukrainians aren't fools. They've been burned by Russian "agreements" before.
The problems with Minsk:
1) Ukraine was forced to sign it with a Russian gun to its head after Russia's 2014/15 invasion. It was a surrender treaty, imposed by an aggressor nation
2) It relied on trusting Russia to keep its end of the deal (fair elections in Donbas and returning border control to Ukraine - LOL)
3) Having a Moscow-controlled region inside Ukraine would destroy Ukrainian sovereignty and paralyse Ukrainian politics - which was Putin's aim
Yes, Minsk was Putin's "peace" terms. Ukrainians chose freedom.
Slava Ukraini.

Russian army officer admits that troops tortured Ukrainian soldiers
Allegations of brutal interrogations, where Ukrainian men were shot and threatened with rape, have been made by a former Russian military officer.
Konstantin Yefremov, the most senior officer to speak openly, told the BBC in an exclusive interview Russia now sees him as a traitor and defector, and he has now fled the country.

Ukraine Claims Destruction of Russian Air Defense System 'Burned Brightly'
According to a tweet from an open-source intelligence account on Twitter, the arctic missile defense system was positioned outside of Chelburda, a village in the Kherson region in southern Ukraine. Prior to being positioned in December, the account reported that the Tor-M2DT was originally deployed along the Finnish border in the Russian town of Alakurtti.
As Newsweek has previously reported, the press service of the Kherson regional military administration said Sunday that Russian forces had been using banned munitions in the shelling of civilian-populated areas in the Beryslav district.

Russian air defense system couldn't detect a drone flying overhead, while targeting the system, then failed to detect the munitions sent in to destroy it...while the drone continued to fly overhead and witness the whole thing.

Western nations have frozen as much as $500 billion in Russian assets since Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022—a vast collection of funds that Kyiv is eyeing to help foot its massive reconstruction bill.
Kyiv, facing an ever-inflating reconstruction bill that is currently thought to be around $750 billion, is eyeing the funds that Moscow and its operatives were unable to extricate or hide.
"This is one of the most urgent topics for us," Oleg Ustenko—an economic adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky—told Newsweek.
Ukraine has established a "fast-track recovery plan" it hopes will form the first phase of a larger reconstruction. The proposal focuses on the most critical infrastructure destroyed by Russia's invasion, occupation, and missile bombardment campaign.
"There is an understanding that these atrocities and war crimes can't just pass without making Russia pay for some of it. But to put in place the legal framework...it gets tricky."
"The picture is not as rosy as Ukraine wants, but I think some of it might be possible because there is the political will."

This is another one of those "Bigshot Russki says whatever pops into his fathead" stories because he is being interviewed on TV and has nothing substantial to brag about:
Russia's Sergei Lavrov Accuses U.S. of Nord Stream Pipeline Attack
BY ISABEL VAN BRUGEN ON 2/2/23
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the U.S. on Thursday of being involved in the explosions that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea last September.
In an interview on state TV, Lavrov said remarks made by U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland at a Senate hearing on January 26 were evidence that Washington was behind the blasts.
After leaks occurred on the two Nord Stream natural gas pipelines linking Russia and Germany last September, a Swedish investigation found evidence of detonations, pointing to sabotage. President Joe Biden called the leaks a "deliberate act of sabotage" at the time, though he did not directly accuse Moscow of being responsible.
Lavrov has now seized on recent comments by Nuland to suggest they point to U.S. involvement in the blasts.
At the January 26 Senate hearing, Nuland became involved in a discussion with Senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, about whether the Russian invasion of Ukraine could have been prevented if the U.S. had passed sanctions against the new Nord Stream 2 pipeline, carrying natural gas from Russia to Germany, in January of last year.
"Senator Cruz, like you, I am, and I think the administration is, very gratified to know that Nord Stream 2 is now, as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea," she said at one point.
Her comment clearly meant that the Biden administration was pleased that the $11 billion Russian-owned pipeline—which the U.S. had opposed for years on the grounds that it increased European reliance on Russian energy—is not being used. Germany halted the recently finished project just before the invasion last February after Russia formally recognized two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine.
Lavrov said Thursday, however, that her remarks to the Senate proved the United States was directly involved. Nuland effectively made a "confession," he said.
"And this is not only the direct participation of the United States in the Nord Stream explosions. Now Nuland, in fact, has made a confession," Lavrov said in an interview with the Rossiya 24 TV channel and the state-run news agency RIA Novosti.

Psychiatrists have recognized pathological lying as a mental affliction since the late 1800s, yet experts say it has never been given serious attention, funding or real study. Instead, it is recognized as a feature of other diagnoses, like personality disorders.

All Ukraine had to do to avoid this clusterfuck was IMPLEMENT THE MISSJ agreement. Yanno, the one they signed that had been approved by the western powers in the UN Security Council.
Now they're saying -out loud- that the only reason they signed was to buy time to arm up. Then they massed forces on their eastern border in late 2021.
They got what they deserved: being used as a pawn in our fight to destroy Russia. Too bad for them.
Sigs can spell just fine. She's no Ted.
You already know the reason that her spelling/grammar has taken a hit recently because it was discussed in the Garden and you read everything that's posted in there even though you don't participate because you're a creep.
