  • Minsk Agreements were signed in 2014 and 2015 in the Belarusian capital Minsk.

MINSK I

  • Ukraine and the Russian-backed separatists agreed on a 12-point ceasefire deal in the Belarusian capital in 2014.
  • Its provisions included prisoner exchanges, deliveries of humanitarian aid, and the withdrawal of heavy weapons.
  • The agreement quickly broke down, with violations by both sides.

MINSK II

  • Representatives of Russia and Ukraine, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and the leaders of two pro-Russian separatist regions signed a 13-point agreement in 2015.
  • The leaders of France, Germany, Russia, and Ukraine, gathered in Minsk at the same time issued a declaration of support for the deal.
  • A major blockage has been Russia’s insistence that it is not a party to the conflict and therefore is not bound by its terms.
