I did not get your point. Even with a treaty in place, why would Ukraine not trying to become stronger with the Russian threat? Again, Merkel says quite clearly IMHO that it was for not escalating the conflict to get to peace, possibly then integrating Ukraine in the EU or NATO.

They also used the time to become stronger. But that was not the goal of Minsk.

She said that they used the time to become stronger, not that this was the goal of Minsk. You are either reading into it what you want it to mean or you are repeating Russian propaganda.

She doesn’t say anything about „stronger.“

Exactly. She said to give Ukraine time to mature for an entry to NATO. Not to prepare for war with Russia. That is disinformation.

No, that is disinformation. Show me the original interview where Merkel said that.
