Thanks, interesting and also has a good map illustrating NATO's
expansion. According to this informative article, the promise not to
expand NATO "one inch" eastward was floated as an idea, but never
embodied in a treaty. On the other hand, Russia did formally agree not
to invade Ukraine *(Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to
GermanySeptember 12, 1990*
