“In general, the agreements in Minsk became a tactical victory for Vladimir Putin,” the political scientist noted. – The joint trilateral declaration with France and Germany plays a special role for him. The results of the negotiations could be tracked by the state of the financial markets. The Russian stock market rose, but the Ukrainian one collapsed. Investors saw that the Europeans’ desire to impose sanctions on Russia was softening, and the Ukrainian economic crisis was not resolved.”
