I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was coming to an end?
All the background I'm provided with is that "On December 8, the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus secretly met in Belavezhskaya Pushcha, in western Belarus, and signed the Belavezha Accords, which proclaimed the Soviet Union had ceased to exist and announced formation of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) as a looser association to take its place.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
