Earlier this month, two infamous Russian pranksters tricked former French president Francois Hollande into an interview under the pretense that he was speaking to former Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko. The whole 15 minute interview is worth watching, but at around the 7-1/2 minute mark Hollande begins discussing the Minsk agreements. He confirms that they were a ruse to buy time for Ukraine to build up its military and he also proceeds to admit that the west overthrew the Yanukovich government in 2014 with Poroshenko’s assistance.
