Respecting the sovereignty of all countries. Universally recognized international law, including the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, must be strictly observed. The sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries must be effectively upheld.
Russia unilaterally decided that territories that everyone had agreed were Ukrainian were now theirs. Truly agreeing to China’s peace plan would mean returning everything, including Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea. I don’t think anyone here is naive enough to believe this declaration was serious in any way or form.
Hey Russian asshole. First, the agreement was with a country that no longer exists (USSR). Do we need to respect territorial agreements with ancient empires? Second, if a sovereign nation ASKS to be a part of NATO peacefully for its protection you think NATO should refuse because you’re butthurt you can’t go invade that country? Hopefully every country in the world joins NATO except Russia China N Korea and Iran. You can then all rot with each other.
From your own link: “None of NATO’s pledges to the leaders of the Soviet Union have been written down in any agreement, signed by the two parties and codified.”
*“Here even studies acknowledging that U.S. policymakers in February 1990 briefly discussed limits on NATO’s future presence risk understating the significance of U.S.-Soviet bargaining in 1990 by missing the importance of informal deals to politics, in general, and to Cold War diplomacy, in particular. In U.S. domestic politics, for example, an informal offer can constitute a binding agreement provided one party gives up something of value in consideration of payment in goods or services. A similar principle applies to inter- national politics: not only are formal agreements often the codiacation of arrangements that states would make regardless of a formal offer, but if private and unwritten discussions are meaningless, then diplomacy itself would be an unnecessary and fruitless exercise.
Moreover, informal agreements and understandings were especially important during the Cold War. The 1962 Cuban missile crisis, for example, was re- solved in part through an informal agreement whereby the United States and the Soviet Union each removed missiles near the other’s territory. In the 1970s and 1980s, an unofficial alliance developed between the United States and China, as each turned to the other to balance Soviet ambitions in Europe and Asia. And as Marc Trachtenberg shows, Europe’s Cold War or- der emerged from tacit U.S. and Soviet initiatives in the 1950s and 1960s that helped the two sides and ways to coexist within a divided Europe. Ultimately, informal arrangements abounded during the Cold War as the United States and the Soviet Union competed for power, influence, and security.”(Shifrinson, Deal or No Deal?: The End of the Cold War and the U.S. Offer to Limit NATO Expansion, p. 18)*
lol we get it comrade. You’re butthurt the leader of the USSR (which AGAIN doesn’t exist anymore) didn’t get a deal in writing. Hilarious that of all countries, RUSSIA is crying because they think it’s “not fair”. When has Russia ever kept its word, ESPECIALLY with Ukraine. Go back to your delusional echo chamber you will find no support here.
The only reason you are this angry is because you know I’m right. But I guess it must get tiresome having American thrown in your face everyday. Never mind, eh? Chin up and straighten your MAGA hat
