Have you read the text of the Minsk agreements?
Have you read the text of the Budapest Agreements?
Russia strictly followed it
Uhh, the first, and really most important point was:
Respect Belarusian, Kazakh and Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.Meanwhile, Putin has been running around trying to convince world leaders that Ukraine isn't really a country for years.
I am sure Putin never expected this war to drag this long, The resistance from the Ukrainian army will cripple the Russian army if this war continues. This war should not have started in the first place if Ukrain had those Nuclear weapons.
