@CyrusJanssen Could you pls link me the official documents and agreements between NATO and Russia promising to not expand east ? I am sure you won’t do any misinformation and you would never speak out a lie. So I am sure you have a document and agreement that was signed by NATO representatives and Russia that there won’t be a expansion of NATO. I am sure such a big promise was signed in a contract. 😉

@CyrusJanssen I safe you some time. The NATO never said it won’t expand in the eastern direction. 🤷‍♂️ So pls correct those claims. Essential to the claim of a commitment to the Soviet Union are talks in February 1990 between the then US Secretary of State James Baker and Head of State Mikhail Gorbachev. According to a memorandum, Baker said at the time: the Americans understood that guarantees were important for the Soviet Union and other European countries in the event that the USA maintained its presence in Germany within the framework of NATO, "NATO's current military sovereignty will not extend one inch eastwards". What was meant, however, was the territory of the GDR - NATO membership for countries of the Warsaw Pact, which still existed in 1990, was out of the question at the time. In Munich, Putin referred to a statement made by the then NATO Secretary General Manfred Wörner on 17 May 1990: "The very fact that we are prepared not to station NATO forces behind the borders of the Federal Republic of Germany gives the Soviet Union firm security guarantees." Here, too, the territory of the GDR was meant. This is clear from another sentence Wörner said afterwards: "We could imagine a transitional period during which a reduced number of Soviet troops would remain stationed in what is now the GDR." Reunification took place months later, on 3 October 1990. The withdrawal of the Western Group of Soviet forces from the territory of the former GDR dragged on until 1994.
