Earlier, the UN refused to comment on confessions by Merkel and Hollande that the Minsk agreements were necessary for Ukraine to bolster the army.
“More recently, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and former French President François Hollande said that the purpose of the Minsk agreements for them turned out to be to give Ukraine time for military buildup. That is, in fact, Minsk-2 was a “smokescreen”. So the so-called “guarantors” deliberately misled, and Donbass, Russia and, it seems, the UN,” Slutsky wrote on his Telegram channel.
“The United Nations must finally give an objective assessment of the actions of Hollande and Merkel, who from the beginning have bluffed by signing the Minsk agreements”, the politician is convinced.
The parliamentarian recalled that in 2015 the UN Security Council adopted resolution 2202, which approved the agreements on the solution of the intra-Ukrainian crisis and called for their full implementation. “But Kyiv began to sabotage Minsk-2 almost immediately, refusing to establish full contact with the authorities of the then newly proclaimed republics of Donbass. But Washington and Brussels continued to impose anti-Russian sanctions, accusing Moscow of violating agreements to which we are bound. “. It had never been a party,” he said.
In his opinion, “as long as the collective West tries to dominate the Secretariat of the Organization and, in fact, makes it dance to the tune of Washington, the fulfillment of the main functions of the UN is directly threatened.”
