Fact checking: Social media users are claiming the West broke a 1990 treaty undertaking not to expand the NATO security alliance closer to Russia’s borders. It's false.

False treaty claims attempt to rewrite history

Russia's ongoing war with Ukraine has led to a resurgence of falsehoods about a 1990 treaty.

While a US commitment that NATO would not expand towards Russia was made during talks with the Soviets in 1990, and remains a topic of heated dispute, no undertaking was written into the treaty on German reunification.
