Well, yes. Countries had an agreement, and some of them broke it unilaterally. How Russia is to pay back for that is the open question.

How do you feel about the US unilaterally breaking their agreements with Iran? Or about Isreal breaking their agreements with Lebanon? Just curious

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 weeks ago

You're right, there were Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 agreements, both of which the West broke. How Russia will pay back for everything the West has done since the fall of USSR really is an open question.

1. (transitive) To pay (a debt or the lender) so as to provide the entire amount of money owed.
2. (figuratively) To avenge, to exact revenge.

Here I am using the 2nd meaning.
