Again, because you are unaware of events that have occurred does not make them unsubstantiated.
Putin never honoured Minsk.
Minsk were only a thing because he never honoured the Budapest Memorandum.
Putin is completely untrustworthy.
"The Russian government has been trying to avoid this scenario for years If not decades"
Putin was pleaded with many times to not further invade Ukraine. He lied and said he had no plans to further invade Ukraine. Putin built uo his forces around Ukraine for a year prior to his full on invasion. Again, just more evidence Putin chose war and is not a trustworthy partner.
