The Western beacons of democracy have secured a second Minsk Protocol.
The leaders of Germany, France, Russia and Ukraine have agreed a deal to end fighting in eastern Ukraine, participants at the summit talks said on Thursday.
The deal reached after all-night negotiations in the Belarussian capital Minsk included a ceasefire that would come into effect on Feb. 15, followed by the withdrawal of heavy weapons.
The news came as Ukraine was offered a $40-billion lifeline by the International Monetary Fund to stave off financial collapse.
The Minsk summit agreement offered hope for eastern Ukraine, German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman said.
“After 17 hours, negotiations in Minsk have finished: ceasefire from Feb. 15 at zero hours, then withdrawal of heavy weapons. Therein lies hope,” Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert said on Twitter.
“We have managed to agree on the main issues,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
The four leaders had committed to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, according to a joint declaration distributed by the Kremlin.
“The main thing which has been achieved is that from Saturday into Sunday there should be declared without any conditions at all, a general ceasefire,” Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko told journalists.
French President Francois Hollande said there was still much work to be done on the Ukraine crisis, but the agreement was a real chance to ameliorate the situation.
He said pro-Russian separatists, who had at one point appeared to reject the deal, had signed up to it.
As this is the exact same thing that Kiev agreed to before and then violated continually until the war started up again in full, I can’t figure any possible reason it would work this time, and given the intensity of the current fighting, I am hesitant to believe it will last anywhere near the four months the first Minsk Protocol lasted for.
But man, both sides must be getting tired of this. It would work, I’m sure, if it weren’t for the Jews. But then, if it weren’t for the Jews, there never would have been a war to begin with.
