Here is the link that documents that agreement: https://peacemaker.un.org/sites/peacemaker.un.org/files/UA_150212_MinskAgreement_en.pdf
The self-rule or autonomy of Russian-speaking communities in both Donetsk and Luhansk regions, including the linguistic self-determination, were clearly documented there. And this was something that the Ukrainians ignored.
#10 was also clearly outlining the "Withdrawal of all foreign armed formations, military equipment, as well as mercenaries from the territory of Ukraine under monitoring of the OSCE. Disarmament of all illegal groups."
NATO and the Ukrainian government never implemented that article.

You can deny it till the end of age, but those HIMARS are getting taken out, and that is why the Biden administration has kept sending them.

Well, I guess many of the Western propagandists can't visit Hungary any more. That is because Hungary will no longer tolerate their "lifestyle".
Good for Hungary, they're afterall protecting their children from such a decadent lifestyle.

Then they should have just invaded and held on to Donbass. Trying to save your ethnic population under a false pretext (like in Crimea) and expand your border does not happen in this era. Only Israel is allowed that privilege to continue doing so.
Clarity of purpose is when you have one goal and a plan to match it. It is not ‘clear’ when Russia had 3 different goals and a military plan that accomplished non so far.
De-nazification was as stupid as Neo-cons goal of bringing democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan and re-drawing the middle east borders. That was 20 years ago and evidently a disaster like that was not current enough for Putin and his buddies to learn from.
Unless you live in Russia, you retyping the crap you are picking off twitter is not going to change anybody’s mind. I did not say sanctions were perfect,i said adversary has to take some action even if its not going have the 100% impact.
And Russia is getting less for its oil than it did . So its coffers are not filling as fast.
I just told you stats about how auto industry and PC industry is down. Any idiotic economy can function for a year or two. The pain of sanctions (medicine, automotive supplies, aviation parts for airliners) is felt over time.
If Russia were functioning properly , it would not be importing anything from N. Korea.
India does not have anything that Russia needs. China yes, but no Chinese corp is going to supply high-tech (computers and such) and then be subject to secondary sanctions.
Much like this war is not over tomorrow, neither is the economic impact going to be felt.

Then it's simple to prove. The Russians should have plenty of photo or video evidence of such destruction, and yet we've seen nothing.

Western countries must be prepared to provide long-term support to Ukraine as Russia shows no signs of relenting, Nato's secretary general has said.
Jens Stoltenberg told the BBC that military support would ensure the survival of Ukraine as a sovereign country and force Russia to sit down and negotiate an end to the war.
Russia's leader accuses the West of using Ukraine to destroy his country.
Russian missiles and drones have hit Ukraine on New Year's Eve and Day.
Russia's partial mobilisation programme, ordered in September, showed Moscow had no desire to end the war at present, Mr Stoltenberg told Radio 4's World at One programme.
"The Ukrainian forces had the momentum for several months, but we also know that Russia has mobilised many more forces, many of them are now training," he said.
"All that indicates that they are prepared to continue the war and also try to potentially launch a new offensive."
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a New Year's speech, in which he tried to rally people behind his troops fighting in Ukraine, saying that the country's future was at stake.
His Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky accused Mr Putin of hiding behind his troops rather than leading them.
Twelve out of 20 Russian cruise missiles were shot down on Saturday, the head of Ukraine's armed forces said. A further 45 Iranian-made kamikaze drones were shot down around Kyiv just hours into the New Year on Sunday, the Ukrainian Air Force said.

At least one person died and dozens were injured in the attacks.
The strike fuelled anger and hate among Ukrainians already tired of Russia's unrelenting air campaign.
As explosions rocked the capital, some residents sang the national anthem, while officials accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians while they gathered to celebrated the New Year.
Andriy Nebitov, the head of the Kyiv police, posted an image to social media of a downed drone with the words "Happy New Year" scribbled across it in Russian.

"That is everything you need to know about the terror state and its army," he wrote on Facebook, adding that the remains had crashed in a children's playground.
Though no let up in hostilities looks to be in sight, Mr Stoltenberg said Nato must ensure Ukraine stays in a strong position in the event of negotiation talks between the two sides.
"What we do know is that what Ukraine can achieve around that table is totally dependent on the strength on the battlefield."
Prior to Mr Stoltenberg's interview, France - a Nato member - reiterated its backing for Ukraine.
"We will be beside you without fail. We will help you until victory is achieved," French President Emmanuel Macron said in his own New Year's address.
