The U.S. media has focused on the so-called Minsk-2 agreement’s cease-fire component, first claiming it was being sabotaged by the rebels and Russia but now acknowledging that it is shaky but relatively successful. But the larger point of Minsk-2 was that it would provide for a political settlement of the civil war by arranging talks between Kiev and authorities in the east that would lead to giving those areas extensive self-rule by the end of 2015.

Article link is missing.

& don't know what yourcomment link means - the rebels took the opportunity of "the truce" to launch an attack to solidify a key junction town. Now that they took the town, it's possible they've stopped advancing. How is that contradictory ast to the government's statement?

Thanks, I think it is corrected now. I have either been screwing up, likely, or else running into some glitches.
