Ukraine foreign policy analyst Ian Brzezinski said that while Moscow is the one that violates Ukraine's territory integrity, the Minsk agreement treats Kyiv as equally wrong.
Brzezinski, who works for the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank, criticized the "incrementalist approach" by the U.S. to respond to Russia assertiveness and aggression.
"I think the mistake has been the administration feels that it's been prudent in following a course of incrementalism, incremental economic sanctions, incremental political isolation, incremental military actions," he said.
Brzezinski added that stronger economic sanctions, a more robust military response to shore up NATO allies, as well as more security assistance — including lethal weapons to Ukraine — are needed to deter Russian aggression in central and eastern Europe.

Russian aggression?
What do you notice about this graphic?
So has NATO been the aggressor in expanding and expanding and expanding ever eastward? And a few years ago assisting and protecting Nazis as they shot dead policemen on Maidan, then chased out a legitimately elected government, then established a Nazi junta, and then bombed and bombed and bombed the civilians of East Ukraine who had recognised this Nazi aggression?
