Russian President Vladimir Putin claims there will be no peace settlement in Donbas until the political provisions of Minsk II agreements have been implemented.
“They always claim that all this [the political provisions of the Minsk II agreements] cannot be done as fighting is still on in the conflict zone in Donbas. But on September 9, the ‘rebels’ of Donbas unilaterally announced that they would not even respond to attacks from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. So what have we got?” Putin said at the eighth Russia Calling! Investment Forum organized by VTB Capital on October 12.
