What Happened to Minsk II

The Minsk II Protocol was supposed to be the solution to the civil war that emerged in Ukraine after the 2014 Maidan Revolution.

Minsk granted autonomy to DPR and LPR to satisfy the demands of post-Maidan separatists there.

Friends who follow western media (ie disinformation) closely and memorize every detail tell me that Minsk II was thwarted by Putin by not disarming and removing the Russian Green Men holding the Donbas hostage.  In my briefer reading of western media, Minsk was never mentioned at all, nor the civil war, nor any particular obsession with the 2014 Revolution.

But, actually, as far as I can tell, Minsk never passed the Ukrainian parliament.  It got a majority on first reading (265 out of 450 MP's), but then, more deadly Neo-nazi protests emerged:

As late as 2017 Minsk had still not passed, and Carnegie (CIA) bemoans the fact that Decentralization still hasn't passed--and probably wouldn't--because it was attached to those Minsk reforms (like legalizing Russian language).

Now, in all likelihood, the USA, as the new overlord of Ukraine, providing money, connections, weapons, intelligence, and diplomacy, could EASILY push Ukraine to getting these reforms passed.

But the USA was not a party to the agreement, and the agreement effectively gives Donbas a veto over NATO expansion to Ukraine--which is the opposite of US intention to make Ukraine a full fledged vassal (NATO member).  So you would not expect US media (CIA) to say anything good about it, if even mention it at all.

My fact-check-meter says it was the US-Neonazi axis that was responsible for torpedoing Minsk II.  Neonazis under US supervision stopped it, and US supervision never bothered to get it back on track.
