Russian Presidential aide for Foreign Policy Yuri Ushakov recalled NATO’s promises not to expand the alliance’s borders towards Russia.
He pointed out that this is a long-standing issue: NATO assured both the USSR and Russia of refusing to expand, however, according to Ushakov, the promises were broken.
NATO interprets this situation in such a way that the assurances were canceled after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact Organization. The alliance believes that in 1989 no one thought about the accession of the treaty countries to NATO.
