THE MINSK II AGREEMENT AS A BASE FOR DE-ESCALATION

Resolution 2202 adopted unanimously by the UN Security Council endorses the February 12, 2015, Minsk Two agreement, titled Package of Measures for the Implementation of the September 2014 Minsk Agreements (Minsk One). The UN Security Council incorporates the Minsk Two document as an annex, thus conferring it further weight. This signifies an indirect endorsement of Minsk Two by the United States with the UN Security Council.
