Debate: Would Minsk II deal survive?

Would the Minsk II bring peace to Ukraine?

Just days after signing another ceasefire deal in Minsk with the aim of ending the violence in Ukraine, the Ukrainian forces have been forced to retreat from the flashpoint town of Debaltseve following weeks of fierce clashes with pro-Russian forces.

Kiev and Washington have accused Moscow of fanning the flames of tensions in the restive eastern part of the country by pouring in troops and weapons.

In this edition of the Debate, we ask former Kremlin adviser Alexander Nekrassov from London, and the Hill columnist Brent Budowsky from Washington D.C., whether the second Minsk deal will hold, and what would be the repercussions of its failure.
