Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Ukrainian crisis is far from over 
Minsk agreements. Such an assessment of the situation in Donbass was given by Russian President Vladimir Putin at an expanded meeting of the collegium of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).
According to him, Western partners are also undermining the process of resolving the situation in Donbass. The Russian leader recalled that the supply of lethal weapons and other weapons to Kiev lead to an aggravation of the contact line.
“Germany and France do not dispute the significance of the Minsk agreements, but in fact indulge Kiev's course of dismantling,” Putin said and called the current situation a dead end. The head of state also pointed out that the western exercises in the Black Sea and the flights of their bombers near the Russian border go beyond the border.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Maria Zakharova accused Western countries of “military pumping »Ukraine. “The militaristic aspirations of Kiev are supported by the United States and its NATO allies. They are stepping up efforts for the military development of Ukrainian territory, strengthening their presence in the Black Sea region, ”Zakharova said at a briefing on November 17.
