Putin's war in Ukraine justified? How Germany 'made a fool' out of Russia back in 2014

In a recent interview with a German publication, former Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the 2014 ceasefire agreement under the Minsk Protocol was meant to give Ukraine time to build up its military. She admitted that Russia could easily have overrun Ukrainian troops in 2015 and doubted if NATO countries could have done as much then as they do. Russia has reacted to Merkel's interview as a confirmation of Germany's 'duplicity' regarding the war in Ukraine. Moscow said that Merkel, through her statement, has exposed that the West never planned to follow the peace accord.

This made me cry... for yesrs Putin was constantly begging the west for a peace agreement to save his Russian speaking citizens...this is very sad

[bibhanshu]

We already knew this, so Russia doesn't need to explain anything to anyone, just take your time and finish your operation. World is not in 1991, now China, India, Brazil, Indonesia are gaint economies, so west and G7 is getting irrelevant with each passing days.

The truth always comes out never trusted the comedian and its allies they always playing double standard

The war in Ukraine, seems is just a symptom of a larger problem which must be addressed, and the innocent people are suffering. Respect accords. Hypocrisy is being exposed every day.

Hypocrisy is my birth right: WESTERN NATO

Putin is not stupid not to know that. This is why he is still not running out of ammunition.

[convergencev]

she said this like 7-8 months back too. Minsk agreements were to prepare Ukraine and nothing more.

2014 was when Ukraine began shelling and attacking Donbas following her vote for independence.

I was born and even today I live in the Crimea. I lived here under Ukraine and under Russia My country is Russia, it was she who, at a difficult moment for us, helped us survive, since Ukraine left us without water, electricity and heat. I sincerely thank all those people who supported my Motherland, my Russia.
I could talk about life in the Crimea under Ukraine, but I don’t know where to start.
Ethnic cleansing took place in Crimea in the 1990s. They really, if not Nazis, then close to it

[Shamansdurx]

India has a lot to learn from this while dealing with the west.

[Jahwonderu]

I was shock too, when I saw the news on Tv

[rene]

We, people with common sense, already know all of that.
