It seems to me you are ignoring the history behind Martin's Lenin quote.

More proofs of Nazi roots in the Kiev regime

You are, whether knowingly or ignorantly, what Communists call a useful idiot, as the aggressor always trumps up charges that the invaded country is at fault.
Once again, you justify open aggression of one country against another. North Korea made similar claims when it invaded South Korea. Ditto North Viet Nam into South Viet Nam. Ditto Iraq into Kuwait. Ditto Russia into Ukraine.
Two wrong do not make a right.
You deny the invading force always blames those invaded to justify their invasion? Silly
I read something a month or so ago, and it was about Media and how it has grown, and how it does not generally report on anything that really, actually affects our lives. The question that the writer asked was, "When I open the news in the morning and read a story from California (Or say, Kiev)), what will I actually change about my life, or actually do, in response to this news?"
Probably nothing.
Now, I know that the Ukraine Russia War is important for global relations, and for righteousness. But it is so complicated, that we can never truly know what is the cause. We can know some.
I have a close friend from Ukraine. He has thought about going back. His family is still there, brothers, mother, uncles, aunts, cousins. It is very, very personal to him. They are real people, reach Christians. That is what interests me, my friend Viktor. I listen when he talks about what is happening there. The Media talking heads? Not so much.

Useful idiot - Wikipedia
See post #49. Stop trying to find fault and address the facts.
From van's link
OriginEdit
The phrase useful idiot has often been attributed to Vladimir Lenin, but he is not documented as ever having used the phrase.[3][4] In a 1987 article for The New York Times, American journalist William Safire investigated the origin of the term, commenting that a senior reference librarian at the Library of Congress had been unable to find the phrase in Lenin's works and concluding that in the absence of new evidence, the term could not be attributed to Lenin.[3][4] Similarly, the Oxford English Dictionary in defining useful idiot says: "The phrase does not seem to reflect any expression used within the Soviet Union.
For these posters to feign lack of knowledge of the meaning of the phrase is surprising, as it is rather well known. SNIP

When it comes to geopolitical events, one must be willing to do an extensive systemic examination of real events with actual boots on the ground. That in my opinion is the only way to know what is actually going on.

I took a look at the wiki Minsk Agreements article. I didn't see anything there about Ukraine's relationships with NATO or the EU. It seems both side broke the agreement at their earliest opportunity.
"In conclusion, Croatian journalist Bogdan Raditsa used the phrase “Koristne Budale” in an October 1946 article. He translated the phrase as “Useful Innocents”, but it may also be translated as “Useful Fools” or “Useful Idiots”. Raditsa stated that the phrase was employed by Yugoslav communists to describe genuine democrats who naively collaborated with them."

Lenin also used a term translated a "simpletons" but applied it to the same category of dupes of Communist propaganda.

NATO used the agreement to train Ukrainians to attack the Donbass and Crimea. After Ukraine put 60,000 of them ready to attack the Donbass Putin launched the special Military Operation. Beat them to the punch.
Do you ever just refer to Putin as "Comrade?"

Not advocating calling each other idiots here, useful or otherwise, but the technicality is moot.
Lenin employed “useful idiots” whether he called them that or not. He used other communists for his purposes, then turned on them when the time was ripe.
