Minsk Agreement

The Minsk agreements were a series of international agreements aimed at ending the Donbas war between Russian separatists and Ukraine, with Russia playing a central role. The agreements were signed in September 2014 and February 2015, but failed to stop fighting and were never fully implemented. The agreements included provisions for a ceasefire, withdrawal of heavy weapons, release of prisoners, and constitutional reform in Ukraine granting self-government to certain areas of Donbas. Russia repeatedly violated these provisions and eventually launched a full invasion of Ukraine in 2022, officially recognizing the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics and declaring the Minsk agreements invalid.learn more on wikipedia
