They imply a complete ban on firing, placing weapons in and near populated areas, offensive and reconnaissance and sabotage operations. The engineering equipment of positions and the use of drones near the line of contact are also prohibited. Nevertheless, the situation remains tense: Kiev has concentrated half of the army’s personnel near the line of demarcation and regularly shells the militias. In addition, Ukraine blocks work in the contact group, refuses direct dialogue with the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics and develops draft laws that directly contradict the Minsk agreements. The situation is aggravated by the actions of the United States and NATO, which send military instructors, weapons and equipment to Ukraine, increase the number of exercises, thereby pushing Kiev to military adventures. In turn, Moscow rejects all accusations of preparing aggression and reminds that Ukraine does not comply with the Minsk agreements. The Kremlin and the Foreign Ministry have repeatedly pointed out that the West is escalating the situation in order to increase the grouping of troops near the Russian borders. «
