President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that he told European leaders about the impossibility of implementing the Minsk agreements. He said this in an interview with Spiegel magazine.
“As for Minsk as a whole, I told Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel: we won’t be able to implement it like that,” Zelensky said.
He recalled that he said the same thing to Russian President Vladimir Putin during their first and last meeting in the Normandy format, which was organized in 2019. According to him, politicians were surprised by these words. They said that if they knew about the intentions to change the meaning of the meeting, then “there would be problems even before the summit.”
Zelensky added that Kyiv used the Minsk agreements mainly to exchange prisoners.
In the interview he also explained his order to hold Bakhmut.
