    Adolf Putler is cynical and blunt, the difference is that the expansion of NATO occurs within the law as it is done at the request of each country that wants to join the alliance, but the expansion of Russia is done in a criminal and illegal way. that countries are attacked, threatened or invaded into submitting to Russian rule.

    Kozyrev is RIGHT! Russian expat 'The Researcher' made an excellent video a year ago about this subject which says exactly the same thing in more details. Look for 'NATO's Broken Promises? The Controversial Truth About Non-Extension Guarantees'.

    • @telebubba5527

      Of course he's right. Anybody who lived through that period knows that. There was never a real promise not to incorporate countries from Eastern Europe, former Warsaw Pact countries, into NATO. Only on a lower level someone suggested something like that by a person who was not involved in the negotiations, but that was very quickly dismissed as unfeasible. Countries are sovereign nations and have the right to engage in any organization they wish. Even Russia itself at one time tried to join, but pulled out of it in 2008 because they were not given any exclusive rights that others don't have. They had to meet the same requirements as any other country. You can easily find this information online.
      What is less known is that the KGB never really lost control of the state. It was just punched unconscious for a while and had to adjust to the new reality. But with the appearance of Putin on the stage, they gained their own old fashioned resolve back and ever since they have been working against everything that was achieved in the years after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Bit by bit they are taking back their ground and that is what we see today.

Gerasimov was a brilliant military thinker, studied by all - now he writes essays about beards? Lavrov was a brilliant diplomat. Medvedev was once a hope for a better Russia, I'm not even mentioning what he is up to now. Whatever happened to all these people? Kozyrev didn't know - maybe Kyiv Post could find out, and tell us? I actually want to know. Changes nothing I suppose, and I've givn up on finding "good Russians" to put my hopes in, but I still think it is important to understand how people change like that.

He said this confirmation was done in response to Gorbatschow allowing the re united Germany to join NATO.

    Its even wurse. Why would the US make a single sided promise not to move eastward with NATO. Best of all if the Russians are so concerned about this. They took the step to in 1992 start the CTS that later became the CTSO (there own NATO version). 5 years before NATO expanded to the east! Did we ever complain about that in the West ? The legal point if Russia can start a military alliance, why can NATO not expanded? Besides the former Warschawpact countries have no rights and Russia has ?
