"Es habe damals also keine schriftliche Zusicherung gegeben, dass sich die Nato nicht nach Osten ausdehnen werde, sagt Sarotte. "Wenn Wladimir Putin heute von einem Betrug spricht, ist das nicht gerechtfertigt."
NATO -Russland Act (ist zwar auch kein Vertrag - aber was Schriftliches)
http://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/official_texts_25468.htm"•respect for sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all states and their inherent right to choose the means to ensure their own security, the inviolability of borders and peoples' right of self-determination as enshrined in the Helsinki Final Act and other OSCE documents;"
Right to choose the means to ensure their own security bedeudet auch, dass man sich sein Buendniss aussuchen darf.

Russian officials claim that US and German officials promised in 1990 that NATO would not expand into Eastern and Central Europe, build military infrastructure near Russia’s borders or permanently deploy troops there.
No such pledge was made, and no evidence to back up Russia’s claims has ever been produced. Should such a promise have been made by NATO as such, it would have to have been as a formal, written decision by all NATO Allies. Furthermore, the consideration of enlarging NATO came years after German reunification. This issue was not yet on the agenda when Russia claims these promises were made.
Allegations about NATO pledging not to build infrastructure close to Russia are equally inaccurate. In the Founding Act, NATO reiterated “in the current and foreseeable security environment, the Alliance will carry out its collective defence and other missions by ensuring the necessary interoperability, integration, and capability for reinforcement rather than by additional permanent stationing of substantial combat forces. Accordingly, it will have to rely on adequate infrastructure commensurate with the above tasks. In this context, reinforcement may take place, when necessary, in the event of defence against a threat of aggression and missions in support of peace consistent with the United Nations Charter and the OSCE governing principles, as well as for exercises consistent with the adapted CFE Treaty, the provisions of the Vienna Document 1994 and mutually agreed transparency measures.”
NATO has indeed supported the upgrading of military infrastructure, such as air bases, in the countries which have joined the Alliance, commensurate with the requirements for reinforcement and exercises. However, the only combat forces permanently stationed on the territory of the new members are their own armed forces.
Even before the Ukraine crisis, the only routinely visible sign of Alliance forces in the new members were the NATO jets used in the Baltic States for the air policing mission. These minimal defensive assets cannot be described as substantial combat forces in the meaning of the Founding Act.
Since the crisis, NATO has taken steps to increase situational awareness and bolster the defences of our Eastern members. This, too, is entirely consistent with the Founding Act and is a direct result of Russia’s destabilizing military actions.
Finally, the Act also states, “Russia will exercise similar restraint in its conventional force deployments in Europe.” Russia’s aggression against Ukraine is a flagrant breach of this commitment, as is its unilateral suspension of compliance with the CFE Treaty.

Soviel dazu. Und der Stern hat im Gegensatz dazu auch die Hitler-Tagebuecher" veroeffentlicht ....
Um zum Thema zurueckzukommen - die Russen scheren sich einen Dreck um "historische Kleinigkeiten" - Stichwort Genozid/Holodomor ,
Die ukrainische Regierung selbst hat kein Problem damit hat, dass paar deutsche Soldaten kommen.
Verstaendnis fuer die Russen - ja ich verstehe schon das man ueber Jahrzehnte/Jahrhunderte ein Imperium hatte - und man jetzt versucht, Stueck fuer Stueck sich das einzuverleiben, was moeglich ist.
Und nochmal zum Verstaendnis: Russland hat
gegen den Willen der dortigen Regierungen - Truppen in Moldawien, Georgien und Ukraine. Auf gut Deutsch: Russland
besetzt[/b] Territorium von drei Staaten in Europa. Die BRD schickt hingegen keine Truppen gegen den Willen der Ukrainer.
