From Ukrainska Pravda:
In an interview, Merkel emphasised that Russia must not win the war, stating: “This is not only in Ukraine’s interest, but also in our own, as we cannot allow Putin to win.” She also pointed out that, as chancellor, she did everything possible to prevent such an escalation.
Merkel is acting like she was never pranked by Vovan and Lexus and did not spill the beans. She essentially said that Minsk agreements were signed not to solve the conflict in Eastern Ukraine but rather to win Ukraine time that it may build up its forces, and counter Russian intervention better then in 2014. Arming Ukraine, and refusal to implement Minsk have directly led to Russian intervention.
