Spokesman for the ex-president of the Russian Federation: I don’t remember that the West discussed NATO expansion with Yeltsin

The former head of the Kremlin press service when Boris Yeltsin was president, Sergei Yastrzhembsky, commented on the words of former US President Bill Clinton regarding the expansion of the North Atlantic alliance.

According to Yastrzhembsky, he does not remember President Yeltsin discussing the issue of NATO expansion to the east with his American colleague Clinton.

According to RIA News, a former press secretary of President Yeltsin, noted that he attended the last three meetings between the presidents of Russia and the United States and there was no talk of NATO moving eastward.

At the same time, Yastrzhembsky also noted that there were meetings between Yeltsin and Clinton without his participation and, perhaps, this issue was raised at them. But he knows nothing about it.

Recall that earlier former US President Bill Clinton spoke in an interview with CNN about his conversation with Russian President Yeltsin regarding NATO expansion to the east. According to Clinton, he asked Yeltsin whether he believes in the threat of NATO expansion for Russia, to which he received a negative answer. In addition, the ex-President of the United States said that he does not consider his country responsible for the situation in Ukraine due to the inclusion of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe in the North Atlantic Alliance at one time. It would be strange if the person who bombed Yugoslavia would declare his guilt in unleashing an armed conflict in Europe. Now he is trying to deny the obvious, although even Pope Francis speaks of NATO's guilt.

History is cyclical. And if we have a cycle from defending the Motherland to the next defense, from victory to victory, then the West got it in the neck, the cycle, they got it in the neck again.

We will again appoint the winners in the next war. Just as in 45 France was for some reason listed as the winner, how they “forgave” almost all of Eastern Europe, how politely they did not remember who armed and set Hitler against the USSR, using him as a battering ram against the USSR and communist ideology., how they did not like to remember the "Unthinkable" plan ...

If only again such "winners" would not produce euphoria from victory.

According to Yastrzhembsky, he does not remember President Yeltsin discussing .....

In my opinion, no one asked Mr. Yeltsin's opinion as it was unnecessary. Why waste time, the United States has already achieved everything from this .... and its government and even more.

After this wino from the rostrum of the US Congress called out "God bless America", they realized that the "client is ripe" and you can not ask him anything. After that, the mattresses abolished international law and decided to make the world live by the rules that they themselves set.

Not in 1941 either. And the closer to Victory - so they, the allies, it is not clear where they come from.
One has only to take Kyiv and Lvov - "allies" will quickly appear.

There must be a clear and distinct memory for it to be the last.
Is there an official condemnation of the traitor?
This Russian "throws off the heavy colossus of the totalitarian system."

And why this article? It’s completely incomprehensible ... NATO, as it put before, and now it puts even more, and we don’t-gu-gu, only very deep concern, because the leadership of the Russian Federation is unable to answer anything else ...

Interestingly, does he remember the talk about the division of the empire into small parts, which will also try to destroy each other?

[VORON538]

So the empire was eventually divided in 1991. How many wars were there on the territory of the former USSR, how many are being fought now? And all these are parts of the Russian Empire. Was it called tsarist or Soviet, or, as it is now, capitalist. since the last collapse. Within the framework of human life, 30 years is a lot. Within the framework of the history of the Russian state, it is not enough.

Yeltsin understandably could not remember what he was talking about and what he signed. Still, he often "worked with documents." His press secretary, judging by the amnesia, probably did not come out of the binge at all

The fact that the Americans and their satellites have been supporting nationalists and collaborators since the middle of the last century should be constantly talked about by our Foreign Ministry, other officials in international stands. But, alas ... only we are on the Internet and sometimes several programs on Zvezda. Although, evidence American activities to undermine the statehood of the USSR-Russia, I think, there are plenty of special services! And we have their "partners".

The drunkard did not care where NATO was expanding - even to the West, even to the East. At least to the west or east. It doesn't expand at all...

Chic wording, from Wikipedia, revealing the essence of the dispute about those very agreements:

Opponents of the deal claim see the 1990 statements as diplomatic maneuver West in order to "probe" the position of the Soviet leadership[27] and, as Genscher later put it, "to help him overcome the obstacle" to the unification of Germany

Western diplomacy as it is

[YanniKounnar]

entretien publié le 13 février sur le site Les Crises, l'ancien chef de la diplomatie française Roland Dumas est revenu sur le sujet, rappelant avoir lui-même participé aux discussions auxquelles se réfère la Russie.

Alors ministre français des Affaires étrangères, Roland Dumas a en effet participé en 1990 aux tractations en amont du traité de Moscou, qui portaient en premier lieu sur la réunification de l'Allemagne, et au cours desquelles ont également été abordées les considérations générales visa mettre un terme définitif à la guerre froide.

Cette discussion a eu lieu, d'abord parce que les Russes l'ont demandée [et] parce que nous l'avons soutenue

"On voulait surtout éviter un retour de la guerre froide", témoigne aujourd'hui l'ancien haut diplomate. Selon lui, la délégation de l'URSS avait à l'époque soumis deux requêtes majeures auprès de ses alliés occidentaux : l'une portait sur l'entretien des monuments à la gloire de l'armée soviétique après le départ de ses troupes ; l'autre portait sur un engagement occidental sur le fait qu'"il n'y ait pas de déplacement des troupes de l'OTAN dans les régions du pacte soviétique qui [devaient] être désarmées".

"Cette discussion a eu lieu, d'abord parce que les Russes l'ont demandée [et] parce que nous l'avons soutenue : moi le premier, les Américains aussi, et les Allemands évidemment", explique alors l'ancien haut diplomate .

"Je me souviens très bien de la scène, [James] Baker [alors secrétaire d'Etat américain] est intervenu après moi en disant: "Même si M. Dumas ne l'avait pas demandé, moi, je l'aurais demandé" ", relate-t-il encore en référence à l'engagement occidental d'un non-élargissement de l'OTAN vers l'est.

In an interview published on February 13 on the crisis website, the former head of French diplomacy, Roland Dumas, returned to this topic, recalling that he himself participated in the discussions referred to by Russia.

The then French Foreign Minister, Roland Dumas, did participate in the 1990 preliminary negotiations on the Moscow Treaty, which primarily concerned the reunification of Germany and also discussed general considerations aimed at finally ending the Cold War.

This discussion took place, firstly, because the Russians asked for it [and] because we supported it

“What we wanted most of all was to avoid the return of the Cold War,” a former senior diplomat testifies today. According to him, the Soviet delegation at that time sent two main requests to its Western allies: one concerned the maintenance of monuments to the Glory of the Soviet Army after the withdrawal of its troops; the other concerned Western commitments that "there should be no obstacles to the preservation of monuments to the Glory of the Soviet Army." to prevent the movement of NATO troops into the areas of the Soviet pact, which [should have] been disarmed.”

“This discussion took place, firstly, because the Russians asked for it [and] because we supported it: I am the first, the Americans too, and obviously the Germans,” the then-high-ranking diplomat explains.

“I remember the scene very well, [James] Baker [then US Secretary of State] intervened after me, saying, ‘Even if Mr. Dumas didn’t ask for it, I would ask,” he recounts again, referring to Western commitments. refusal to expand NATO to the east.

He was always drunk hanging out next to Yeltsin. What can he remember? glass depth?

[Maverick1812]

Yastrzhembsky's words can be interpreted as follows: I was not in the share, so I am not aware of the conversation.

Under Yeltsin? Discuss the issue of NATO expansion?
Who would have thought that they would even notify him (about such a question), but they definitely wouldn’t ask ....................

There was an investigation. And in mid-March 1996, the State Duma adopted a resolution on the illegitimacy of the Bialowieza treaty and the presence of corpus delicti in Yeltsin's actions. It has been published!
But the Russian people agreed with Yeltsin's second presidential term.

The army that betrayed the Soviet oath in 1991, the people who chose the traitor - receive a well-deserved reward.
Why, so o........ that they don’t even understand "why?"
That's when they understand, then maybe things will go better. And if they don't understand... Probably God has already decided what to do. And the "last circle" has already been completed.

The people did not agree, this was also published a long time ago. Massive falsifications are still being carried out, what can we say about the time when political technologies were completely inexperienced.

[Magog_]

the people who chose the traitor

In 1996, G.A. Zyuganov somehow quickly agreed with the defeat in the presidential elections ... Then it became a familiar state for him after the next elections, don't you remember? I'm talking about the "traitor". Pohmemeltsin is an enemy, he has appeared since 1990, and then he did not betray anyone of his own. Zyu does this (betrayal) regularly.

[Ricochet]

Well, I don’t remember whether it was a good position for Yastrzhemsky or not, this is already a note for history.

[faterdom]

The female hawk then generally personified the official Yeltsin (unofficial - Tatyana D.).
And here: the people are worried, for a week, a second ... The President heals his nose!
And suddenly, the high double doors swing open, and out ... No, not Yeltsin, but the thin, athletic Hawk Zh., and the people are pleased: the President has a strong handshake! A sigh of relief from thousands of sips in the workplace (whoever has a job, even if they don’t pay for it for years). And a tear of tenderness - strong, they say, He has something there, either a chair, or a handshake ... And in general - he is alive, the breadwinner! Of course, Nata is not up to him, he generally won - Naina!

Yeltsin, drunk, might not even remember what he discussed and what he didn’t discuss .. With Gorbachev one field of berries ..
