Putin and Merkel's political marriage has completely disintegrated. Putin no longer believes in Merkel. Which leader can Putin trust in the West? Putin and Western leaders have zero trust, and the confrontation between Russia and the West is becoming increasingly fierce, making diplomatic negotiations and dialogues between Russia and the West more difficult.
Putin said Merkel's remarks prove that Russia's special military operations against Ukraine are correct. The purpose of the West is to arm Ukraine, and the West is driving Ukraine to confront Russia.
Putin admitted that a Minsk agreement had deceived him, Putin admitted that the military action against Ukraine was too late, Putin believed that Russia should start military action against Ukraine as soon as possible.
Minsk Agreement is not a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, but an umbrella for the armed Ukrainian army of Western countries . Now Western countries believe that Ukraine is already strong, and the West can order the authorities of Kiev to tear up the Minsk Agreement, which has no value.
