Political Results
«These actions were confounded Russia, which only yesterday demanded that the Ukrainian military to lay down arms, raise the white flag and surrender, “- said Poroshenko. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, while in Hungary, expressed the hope that “the responsible persons in the Ukrainian leadership will not interfere with the Ukrainian army soldiers lay down their arms if they are not able to take this important decision and give such an order.” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday at a press conference in Moscow said that the Ukrainian side at the talks in Minsk last week to withdraw from Debaltseve, but without weapons – out with guns militia would not have agreed, but seemed to Poroshenko.
There was another tragedy, the Ukrainian leadership should have been used to derive the expected environment of thousands of troops, commented Ukrainian political analyst Mikhail Pogrebinsky . He expects staffing solutions to the Chief of the General Staff Viktor Muzhenko: on Wednesday evening Poroshenko must hold a meeting of the National Security and Defense.

Kiev today still retains an interest in a temporary truce, as and militia, so both sides will try to keep the silent mode and the next, the alleged agreements Ming step – take arms; but the process will be difficult, especially in the absence of effective control, said Pogrebinsky. Kiev, in his opinion, appreciates the likelihood of obtaining weapons from the United States and therefore it wants to wait.

The representative of the Ministry of Defense DNR Edward Basurin on Wednesday announced the beginning of the withdrawal of heavy weapons from Elenovka, Telmanovo and Yasinovataya in the Donetsk region.
Minsk Agreement – a realistic scenario, a temporary freeze of the conflict, that is, when the first (ceasefire) and second (removal of the arms) points in all the concerned capitals relieved, says Russian political analyst Alexei Makarkin. How long will this freeze is impossible to say, especially in the absence of strict international control, continues Makarkin. Now both sides – Ukraine, breakaway republics with Russia – based on the fact that the economy will collapse before the opponent.
Minsk agreement from the beginning were a dead end, at best, be able to observe a ceasefire and solve the problem of the minimum Ceasefire , the rest does not make sense to say, until there is only in the region of the OSCE, we need new negotiations involving peacekeepers, summarizes the Ukrainian political analyst Vladimir Fesenko.
