Pretty much everyone except France and Germany sabotaged the Minsk agreement. Please don't spread this kind of historical revisionism. And of course they had to adapt to the new reality after the Russian aggression in Ukraine.

Merkel admitted that the point of the Minsk agreement was to "buy time for Ukraine." So, it appears Germany, at least, was never negotiating in good faith

Hollande admitted this as well. It's basically an open secret at this point. People who keep pretending this isn't so expose themselves as being completely morally bankrupt.
