President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, spoke for the first time today regarding our story, last week, which revealed former German Chancellor Angela Merkel LIED during the entire Minsk Agreement meetings, about cooperating for peace in Ukraine.
We reported last week that Merkel publicly admitted she knew Ukraine had no intention of honoring the peace agreements, and only signed those agreements to "buy time" to build up their armed forces. Put simply, the Gereman Chancellor and then-President of Ukraine, looked President Putin directly in the face, and deliberately lied to him. Repeatedly. During two marathon meetings which became the basis for the "Minsk Agreements."
Today, President Putin spoke publicly about this deception.
He said he was disappointed when he found out Merkel deceived him. He said "trust almost fell to zero." He wondered aloud "How do we negotiate now?" (i.e. There is no trust). "What can we negotiate?" (there is no trust.) "What are the guarantees? " (There is no trust . . .)
Putin went on to say that this deception only reinforced the reality that Russia, choosing to engage in the Special Military Operation (SMO) in Ukraine, was the right decision.
Here is brief video, with English sub-titles, showing the Russian President making these remarks today:
