Respecting the sovereignty of all countries. Universally recognized international law, including the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, must be strictly observed. The sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries must be effectively upheld.
Russia unilaterally decided that territories that everyone had agreed were Ukrainian were now theirs. Truly agreeing to China's peace plan would mean returning everything, including Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea. I don't think anyone here is naive enough to believe this declaration was serious in any way or form.
From your own link: “None of NATO’s pledges to the leaders of the Soviet Union have been written down in any agreement, signed by the two parties and codified.”
Hey Russian asshole. First, the agreement was with a country that no longer exists (USSR). Do we need to respect territorial agreements with ancient empires? Second, if a sovereign nation ASKS to be a part of NATO peacefully for its protection you think NATO should refuse because you’re butthurt you can’t go invade that country? Hopefully every country in the world joins NATO except Russia China N Korea and Iran. You can then all rot with each other.
