1/27/23 Ted Snider: Were the Minsk Agreements a Lie?

Download Episode.

Scott talks with Ted Snider about former German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s recent claim that the Minsk agreements were never meant to bring peace to the Donbas. Merkel said that instead, they were implemented to give Ukraine time to build up its military. Some are doubting whether Merkel’s comments are true, but Snider explains why this is a big deal whether she’s lying or not. Scott and Snider explore the dynamic around the Minsk agreements and examine the crucial years between the 2014 ousting of Yanukovych and the 2022 invasion. They also touch on where things stand today and on whether the best window for negotiation has already passed. 

Discussed on the show:

  • “Did Europe Lie to Russia About Peace?” (Antiwar.com)
  • “The U.S. Approach to Ukraine’s Border War Isn’t Working. Here’s What Biden Should Do Instead” (Politico)
  • “Did the West Miss Its Window?” (Antiwar.com)
  • “CIA director holds secret meeting with Zelensky on Russia’s next steps” (Washington Post)

Ted Snider has a graduate degree in philosophy and writes on analyzing patterns in U.S. foreign policy and history. He is a regular writer for Truthout, MondoWeiss and antiwar.com.
