Oh that's weird, do explain this then

The Minsk peace process, which has stopped: “It must be restarted. It is a war with Russia, so the talks should be with Russia. It must be in the diplomatic format, with the presence of Western partners. We will never sacrifice our people or our territories.“

Seems like Minsk was very much on the table before revisionism started.

He was referring to a ceasefire and peace talks. There's not quoted text of him outright calling Minsk and lots of quotes of him stating he's not going to follow Minsk.

Go ahead and show me quotes from him saying he won't follow Minsk during his election campaign.

I gave you three links that look critically point by point over his campaign election promises showing where he's failed.

I asked you to provide a quote from Zelensky during his campaign where he says he's not going to implement Minsk.

Zelenskyy's presidential campaign against Poroshenko was almost entirely virtual.[56][57] He did not release a detailed policy platform[58] and his engagement with mainstream media was minimal;[56][d] he instead reached out to the electorate via social media channels and YouTube clips.[56] In place of traditional campaign rallies, he conducted stand-up comedy routines across Ukraine with his production company Kvartal 95.[60][61]

A meaningful quote on an important foreign policy direction might be difficult to come by owing to this.

The point is that such a quote doesn't exist because Zelensky did promise to implement Minsk and to normalize relations with Russia. That's why he had so much popular support. When Zelensky got in power he basically did a 180 on the platform.

Got it. Thanks.
