OH look a cease fire. We all know cease fires are just times to re arm and re deploy to better posistions. Putin has paid attention to the israeli/pali conflict i see.

It is also said that Putin walked away from it without signing any papers. Reps from DPR/LPR were not allowed by Kiev. The Minsk 1 was signed by the reps, Kochuma and Russian foreign minister............I think, may be wrong also.

Putin's signature isn't worth the square of toilet paper it would cover.
The agreement to end the nearly year-long conflict, which has killed thousands and ratcheted East-West tensions to highs not seen since the Cold War, was reached early Thursday after marathon talks in the Belarussian capital Minsk between the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany.
Kiev and the West accuse Russia of stoking the war in ex-Soviet Ukraine by pouring arms and troops to help the pro-Russian rebels fighting Kiev government troops in Ukraine's industrial east. Moscow denies the charges.
Speaking late Thursday after a European Union summit in Brussels, German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned Russia that the bloc, which has already slapped Moscow with sanctions over the crisis, was not ruling out further measures if the truce failed.
"If it works well we would be very happy to go with the agreement. If there are difficulties we wouldn't rule out other sanctions," she said.

KIEV, February 13. /TASS/. Ukraine's radical nationalist Right Sector organization doesn't recognize the agreements reached in Minsk and will continue combat actions, the organization's leader Dmytro Yarosh said on his Facebook.
According to Yarosh, the agreements contradict Ukraine's constitution.

The Azov Battalion attack in the Mariupol sector turned out to be mainly for show.
The Tuesday Ukrainian attack on the Mariupol sector which was accompanied by numerous and pompous accounts of its victories turned out to be mainly a showy senseness “march in review” before the eyes of its leader, whose role was assumed by Aleksandr Turchinov, the head of the National Security and Defense Committee, who specially arrived in Mariupol for this reason.
The attack began in the morning. It was spearheaded by the Azov Special Purpose Regiment. Its troopers drove through the villages located between Mariupol and Novoazovsk which are located in the so-called “no-man’s land”—a buffer zone between UAF and Novorossia forces—where they made several photos which confirm their “victory”. The trip cost them two wounded, due to the fact they were photographing themselves: Novorossia snipers noted the camera flashes.
