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]].   

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>
