This is a very important work.

Just 1 small question - did you fact check the claims of "not a Treaty" and "not a guarantee"?

Unless you think your life assurance policy is not a "contract" and your insurance company doesn't have to pay out.

The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties defines a ‘treaty’ as ‘an international agreement concluded between states in written form and governed by international law, whether embodied in a single instrument or in two or more related instruments and whatever its particular designation’ (Article 2(1)(a)). Treaties are commonly called 'agreements', 'conventions', `protocols' or `covenants' , and less commonly `exchanges of letters'.

In the dictionary, the definition of assurance is guarantee. The definition of guarantee is assurance.

Disgusting mendacious US propaganda. I hope Ukraine sues and gets judgement in the ICJ for the destruction and horror this violation has caused.

The sorry history is reminiscent of a particularly nasty schoolyard culture where the perpetrators all gang up together against the victim. 2 of them protesting they are helping the victim while they exclude and pick on the victim non stop.

The most nauseating part is that Yeltsin, Clinton and Major knew the Security Council" provision was a nullity because they had defrauded the UN that Russia had a veto. When by operation of law the USSR's memberships expired when it ceased to exist and there has been unequivocal authority since 1947 that a "new" state emerging from a federal state cannot claim UN membership. Enforced within months of Russia illegally participating in the UN. (https://www.talaria.fyi/p/status-of-the-former-ussrs-un-memberships)

What is even more sickening is that the Biden administration have been lying that Russia can't be "removed" as it would veto, and/or a 2/3 majority was necessary. Neither of which is true. (https://www.talaria.fyi/p/images-russia-and-the-un)

Whether this appalling sleight of hand by Clinton was due to sheer incompetence, or paying more attention to his well known proclivities than his job, makes little difference. The consideration, the promise, the intent of the TREATY, are all very clear.

I'd be very interested to find out more detail about the US' "favourite" Ukrainian president suddenly losing to a compliant one.
