Seymour,
That 1997 treaty was signed by Boris Yeltsin, the drunken western sycophant who not only sold Russia out internationally but nearly destroyed it internally, leading to the widespread unhappiness that brought Putin to power.
Expecting Putin to honor that, especially in light of western machinations against Russia in the years since, is as ridiculous as expecting Trump to have kept the ruinous Montreal Protocols signed by Obama.
After the drunken fool was replaced, Russia began to reassert it's rights to self determination rather than be bossed about by the UN and NATO. And Ukraine was well aware of the changed reality in the 25 years since the ruinous drunk sold out his nation by signing that treaty - which the west never intended to honor, as they have proved again and again by waging proxy wars against Russia.
And that U.S./NATO backed coup that brought the clown Zelensky to power in Ukraine was Conspiracy Reality, not the "conspiracy theories" you lefties love to prattle on about. His predecessor had been democratically elected, which proved yet again the hypocrisy of those who go on endlessly about "democracy" yet refuse to honor it when it works for the other guy. Remember all the rending of garments and gnashing of teeth when Hamas won the elections we insisted on in the Palestinian territories instead of the favored to win artificially created Palestinian Authority?
