Yeah that is the russian statement but reading the agreement leaves me thinking that is not 100% on the level. They seem to think they where not an involved party in the agreement and did not have abide by it. Here is a translation of the agreement, if you have a better version let me know.

The source says, to repeat:
What Russia did in response would be in Russia's statement. But here the writer is reporting that Ukraine refused to implement Minsk II.
If your link is only a translation of the agreement, it won't say anything about who violated it, so I'm unsure what good it does to comb through it. I don't see how the clauses are relevant without a factual chronology from after it's signing, such as the one in my link. I'll note that I'm happy to be presented with contrary evidence but also note that the source I provided is from Yale university—hardly a pro-Russian outlet.
Here's a Reuters link for anyone who doesn't want to open the PDF (I can't confirm they're both the same or if this one's as faithful translation): https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/what-are-minsk-agreements-ukraine-conflict-2021-12-06/
