The Minsk Process is not over until the European Union says so..
So Poroshenko can "Cancel it" a million of times , but if Europe says.. no you can't.
Then he will have to do it ,no matter what. Because Ukraine depends from EU economical
help , then kiev is not in any position to say ,Minsk is canceled. This is EU the only one that can say that. So they know the alternative of MINSK is Kiev to start the war in full scale , and the
pipeline from where they get Natural gas to be interrupted affecting their economies. So my guess is they will pressure economically ,blackmail ukraine to comply again or else face sanctions and zero economic aid.
So MINSK is all About what EU says.. not what the american controlled puppets in kiev says.
US do not have the capability to help Ukraine economy with trade , only EU can. So Europe have
more ways to pressure Ukraine to return to Minsk agreement. Because all this goes down to
Economic Aid and TRade. Ukraine cannot exist in the world isolating itself from Russia and Europe. So unless Europe change their tune and give up , with something they have nothing to lose and everything to win to keep the pressure,then they will continue.
Is for nothing that Minsk 2 agreement was called a peace trap. and it is supported by UN and international community ,so is an international law. So Ukraine will be beaten by DOnetsk and Lugansk and after that they will need to return again to minsk 2 again. Which is nothing more than the restoration of democracy in kiev ,and respect of ethnic minority rights in Ukraine.
This is what the special status..and elections really means in minsk2 , that Donetsk and Lugansk will give control of border and recognize Kiev only when kiev recognize their right to their language and right to have representation in the government and right for have their own security and governor in the zone.
