@I_am_not_a_bot-s6i you listen to much to Russian propaganda. First off if you mean the promises that were allegedly made to Gorbachev, there never has been a treaty signed with these promises in them. So we will never know if this is true or not. Anyone can say anything, so if the Soviets were right about this, they were naive in this situation. Secondly these promises, if they have ever even been made, were made to the USSR, not the Russian Federation (as it was still the RSFSR within the USSR at that point) and was about the former Warsaw pact Countries. The USSR collapsed so the situation changed. Russia is not the sole legal successor even, as Ukraine also claims to be its legal successor.
An agreement that was actually reached with the Russian Federation was that NATO wouldn't move troops further east than Germany unless there would be a major shift in the security situation in Europe. NATO kept this promise as it was Russia's invasion of Crimea and instigation of the Ukrainian civil war in 2014, that caused a major change in the security situation. Only since then has NATO moved troops to the Eastern flank of the alliance.
Another agreement that has actually been signed and so it can actually be proven, is the Budapest memorandum. In which Kazakhstan, Belarus and Ukraine would give up their nuclear weapons and declare themselves nuclear neutral states in exchange of their territorial integrity and independence being guaranteed by the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States. The countries pledged to never use military means against said countries, unless in self defence. Russia broke this agreement twice. In 2014 and now. With now claiming it to be self defense which is bullshit considering Ukraine would have never attacked Russia. Belarus itself has broken this agreement too with "referendum" in which it ended it's non nuclear status and allows it to host nuclear weapons again.
Meanwhile Ukraine to this day is a neutral and non nuclear state. All it did wrong was trying to have a better future in the west and try to free itself from the Russian world. The coup thing is another of these Russian propaganda things. No my friend, the Ukrainian people ousted a president who only cared for himself instead of it's people. You're allowed to chose your own future as a people and oust a president who is clearly not acting for the good of his state and people.

@makc3383 lol yes someone specialized in Ukrainian and Russian history, is not aware of the conflict. The fact that you call Ukrainians inhumans says how much Russian propaganda poisoned your mind. If your ancestors, who fought side by side with their Ukrainian brothers, would hear this, they would be disgusted. Ukrainians, for that matter everyone, is the same my friend. All humans just want to be able to have a good life. Friends, family, roof above their heads, food etc. The idea that we should be enemies, or the others are inhumane are things in human psyche. We against them way of thinking. This is a bad thing. Because again, all humans are fundamentally the same. No matter what political view or gender identity someone may have. And if you believe the nazi narrative, please stop letting your mind me poisoned. This is also the reason Germans did the most horrendous things to the Russians, because they too thought the Russians were untermenschen, and suddenly killing them wasn't killing your fellow humans. This is a very dangerous way of thinking and leads to dark and twisted acts.
