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.
The very concept of “NATO expands” is misleading. NATO doesn’t decide to expand. Countries that had previously been neutral apply for membership. Contrast that to how “Russkiy Mir” expands.
