Russia not keeping to minsk agreement says tusk

You're referring to the recent statement by Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council, regarding the implementation of the Minsk Agreement by Russia.

The Minsk Agreement, also known as the Minsk Protocol, is a ceasefire agreement signed in February 2015 by Ukraine, Russia, and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) to end the conflict in eastern Ukraine. The agreement aimed to establish a ceasefire, withdraw heavy weapons, and implement political reforms in Ukraine.

In his statement, Tusk accused Russia of not fully implementing the agreement, citing several breaches, including:

1. Failure to withdraw heavy weapons: Russia has not withdrawn its heavy weapons, as agreed upon in the Minsk Protocol.
2. Continued support to separatists: Russia has continued to provide military support to the separatist groups in eastern Ukraine, despite the agreement's provisions.
3. Lack of progress on political reforms: Russia has not made sufficient progress on implementing political reforms in Ukraine, as agreed upon in the Minsk Protocol.

Tusk's statement is likely a response to the ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the recent escalation of violence in eastern Ukraine. The European Union has been a strong supporter of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and has imposed several rounds of sanctions on Russia in response to its actions in Ukraine.

It's worth noting that Russia has denied any involvement in the conflict in eastern Ukraine, and has accused Ukraine of violating the Minsk Agreement. The situation remains complex and contentious, with both sides accusing each other of non-compliance with the agreement.
