Sympathie mit dem Teufel: Die Lüge der NATO -Expansion

Submission Statement: „The Kremlin has accomplished something that even its most fervent propagandists might have considered impossible: Western figures now echo its untruths.“ Maciej Bukowski, LL.M. argues that the narrative claiming NATO’s eastward expansion provoked Russia’s war against Ukraine is a persistent falsehood propagated by Moscow and increasingly echoed by Western figures. Bukowski explains that no binding promise was made regarding NATO expansion during US-Soviet negotiations in 1990, and highlights that the nations seeking NATO membership did so for their security, not as pawns of the West.
