Abstract: The war in Ukraine constitutes one of the most significant conflicts in recent decades. Given its prolonged duration, it is reshaping international relations on a global scale and has resulted in immense suffering and loss of life. Furthermore, it has brought forth a number of crucial issues for consideration. One such issue pertains to the nature and impact of the Minsk agreements, particularly in light of the claims of remedial secession, which the Russian side has invoked as justification for initiating the so-called ‘Special Military Operation’. In this context, this article takes into account relevant precedents, including the one in Kosovo. Within this framework, special attention is dedicated to analysing the role of the two Minsk agreements and their impact on Ukrainian sovereignty.
