Nick Griffin was a member of the European Parliament from 2009-14. The British politician says Western countries are supporting Ukraine with military equipment, military trainers and morally-politically. With the support of the West, Kiev thinks they can deal with and threaten the two self-proclaimed republics of the East and Russia. He added that the West does not want the Kiev agreement. Let the people of Russia and Ukraine kill each other, this is what they want to see.
Amid tensions over Ukraine, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said on February 9 that they would not abide by the Kiev Minsk agreement on Moscow's terms and would not hold direct talks with the breakaway self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics. But it was one of the main conditions of the agreement.
Nick Griffin, a former member of the European Parliament, also spoke of the goodwill of the West to encourage Ukraine to abide by the agreement. According to him, there is no doubt that the United States and Western European countries could force the Ukrainian leadership to implement the Minsk agreement signed in 2014 and 2015.
Griffin, referring to the two self-proclaimed republics of eastern Ukraine, said that if the West were to make it clear that there (in eastern Ukraine) the nasty and illegitimate rule was their own and that they would no longer receive military, logistical, financial or political support. This will force Kiev to do the right thing. According to Dan Kovalik, an assistant professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh, the hypocrisy of Western nations has exposed the fact that they have signed or ratified the Minsk Agreement. Professor Dan Kovalik explained that since the UN Security Council ratified the agreement, it has been an international law. On the one hand, Germany, France, known as the Normandy format of the Minsk agreement with Russia, supported the agreement as guarantors, on the other hand, the United States and the United Kingdom approved the agreement as a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
Professor Kovalik claims that the United States has considerable influence over the Ukrainian government, adding that "the Kiev government is partly the creation of the United States. They supported the 2014 coup in Ukraine. And the United States was a partner in the rise of this government. So the current Kiev government will do what the United States wants. "
The countries of Kiev and Western Europe have been ignoring the Minsk agreement for so long. That's what Alexander Laxon, founder of the UK-based think tank Global Political Insight, says. He said that, first of all, the Ukraine crisis arising from the long-running sabotage of the Minsk Agreement in Kiev has already had a major negative impact on the country's economy. Lexon further warns that, secondly, Europe is at risk of prolonged military tensions in Ukraine. The crisis in Ukraine could spread to European Union (EU) allies, that is, to other parts of Europe.
One of the main conditions of the Minsk agreement was the removal of military installations, military equipment and mercenaries from eastern Ukraine. According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, there are still about 10,000 foreign military experts permanently stationed in Ukraine. Four thousand of these military members are from the United States.
Under the Biden administration, the United States and its European allies have stepped up arms supplies to Ukraine. The United States and NATO have promised to make Ukraine a member of NATO. Over the months, the Ukrainian government has stepped up military equipment and troop deployments in areas adjacent to the Danvas. Kiev's move is a clear violation of the Minsk agreement. In mid-December last year, Moscow raised a draft security agreement with the United States and NATO.
The draft agreement calls for Ukraine to become a NATO member and to build a military base in Kiev on the Russian border. Russia then told the United States and NATO that Ukraine had crossed the "red line" by mobilizing troops on the Russian border, giving them the right to retaliate militarily.
Alexander Lexon says that if Ukraine does not abide by the Minsk agreement, it is clear that the Ukraine crisis will continue. Only military solutions will be on the table. This will have a negative impact not only on Ukraine, but also on Europe. Because in the territory of Europe, it will become a conflict. That is why it is so important for the United Kingdom, the United States and other Western countries to persuade Ukraine to abide by the Minsk agreement.
