Putin: Kyiv Elites Lack Willingness to Implement ‘Minsk Agreement,’ They Want Blitzkrieg Like 2013, 2014

TRANSCRIPT:

PUTIN (via translator): "As for situation in Donbas, we can see that the Kyiv elite keeps stating publicly about lack of willingness to implement the Minsk Agreement to settle the conflict. They are not interested in peaceful resolution. Vice versa, they want to start blitzkrieg like it happened back in 2013 and 2015. And you remember what those — how it ended. Now almost every day, they are shelling settlements in Donbas, they have amassed large troops. They are using offensive armament, vehicles and other heavy machinery. Torturing people, children, women, elderly people. It doesn't stop, it doesn't cease. We see no end to it."
