Russia attacked Ukraine after Ukraine failed to comply with the Minsk Agreements, which were signed in 2014. This was followed by Moscow’s recognition of Donetsk, Lugansk, and Donetsk as Donbass republics. Minsk Protocols, which were negotiated by France and Germany, gave the regions that had broken away special status in the Ukrainian government.
In recent years, the Kremlin demands that Ukraine declares itself neutral in order to be able to join NATO. Kiev claims that the Russian invasion was unprovoked. It also denies any plans to take the republics with force.
