The Minsk Agreements established a 12-point roadmap to ensure an immediate bilateral ceasefire; carry out decentralization of power, allowing temporary local self-government in areas of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine under a "special status" law; immediately free all hostages and illegally detained persons; ensure monitoring on the Ukrainian-Russian border and a security zone; remove illegal armed groups, military hardware, and all fighters and mercenaries from Ukrainian territory; pass a law against the prosecution and punishment of people over certain events in Donetsk and Luhansk region; ensure the holding of snap local elections in Donetsk and Lugansk.<ref>https://archive.fo/owxxq</ref>  Both the Poroshenko and [[Zelensky regime]]s refused to implement the Accords for fear how free elections on [[self determination]] may turn out.

Just as [[Nazi Germany]] had no intention of abiding by the 1939 [[Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact]] and used the [[treaty]] to buy time to militarize for war against Russia, so were the Minsk Accords, guaranteed by [[Germany]] and [[France]], entered into in bad faith to buy time to militarize Ukraine for war against Russia.  The [[Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal]] found that entering into peace agreements under false and duplicitous circumstances, with no intention to abide by the obligations of the treaty. was a [[crime against peace]], punishable by death for all [[conspirator]]s involved.

In an interview with ''Zeit'' magazine in December 2022, former German Chancellor [[Angela Merkel]] confirmed the [[Western alliance]]'s duplicity in using the Minsk Accords to buy time for the [[NATO]]ization of Ukraine to use as a battering ram for destruction of the [[Russian Federation]].

Merkel described the September 2014 Minsk agreement which France and Germany had brokered a ceasefire after the failure of Ukraine’s attempt to subdue the republics of [[Donetsk]] and [[Lugansk]] by force.  “[Ukraine] used this time to get stronger, as you can see today.  The Ukraine of 2014/15 is not the Ukraine of today. As you saw in the battle for Debaltsevo in early 2015, [Russian President Vladimir] [[Putin]] could easily have overrun them at the time. And I very much doubt that the NATO countries could have done as much then as they do now to help Ukraine.”  The [[Kyiv regime]]'s defeat at Debaltsevo resulted in the Minsk II protocol signed in February 2015. Merkel said that it was “clear to all of us that the conflict was frozen, that the problem had not been solved, but that gave Ukraine valuable time.”<ref>https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/merkel:-minsk-agreement-attempted-to-give-ukraine-time</ref>
