Well Porky Poroshenko signed it then along with one of his puppet masters Merkel admitted it was just a tactic to buy time so the Ukrainians could build their army for another offensive, like i say they can't be trusted they have proved that.Minsk 2 is always blamed on Ukraine. It is one of the main narratives of Russian propaganda. But you haven't read them, either. Have you?
Reality shows that these accords were worded in a way that either side interpreted them in their favor.
One of the examples was a clause about new elections there. Ukraine insisted that these elections be held according to Ukrainian law, the Central Elections Committee being in charge, Ukrainian parties and candidates taking part, and observers and journalists from Ukraine and elsewhere monitoring them. The separatists insisted on their supervision, the amnesty being adopted first, etc. As a result, almost a year of ping-pong, and the separatists organized their elections there and began forming their statelets; Ukraine condemned and didn't recognize that, of course.
Virtually every one paragraph was interpreted differently and was a sticking point. Make no mistake, I am not trying to blame the separatists (or Moscow, more correctly) for Minsk 2 derailment. The both sides were worth each other, were not going to implement them in full, and used them for own benefit.
