U.S. Vice President Mike Pence has stated the United States would do everything necessary for Russia to bear responsibility for the implementation of the Minsk agreements, in particular in part of de-escalation of the situation in Donbas.

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference he said it is necessary to ensure that Russia fulfill the Minsk agreements starting with the de-escalation of the situation.

"And I want to say that the U.S. will continue to demand that Russia bear responsibility," he said.

He added that in the situation when Russia redrew international borders, the United States together with its key partners will do everything to take other critical measures to support NATO.
