You're lying. In fact, that promised was archived at the National Security Archive at George Washington University

Washington D.C., December 12, 2017 – U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous “not one inch eastward” assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991, according to declassified U.S., Soviet, German, British and French documents posted today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University<(http://nsarchive.gwu.edu).

Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to shrink:

A promise is not a treaty. That promise was contingent on Russia behaving. You are always complaining about “poking the bear,” but you turn a blind eye when it is the bear that is doing the poking. NATO did not invade and force itself on the eastern European countries. They sought it because they wanted protection against Russian aggression. Russia’s invasion only cements that desire among the eastern European countries, especially Ukraine.

That being said, I bet Ukraine would sign a treaty of neutrality in a heart beat in return for Russian withdrawal. But Putin will never offer that because of his desire to subjugate Ukraine and bring it back into Russia’s orbit. Putin rejects Ukrainian membership in NATO because it would permanently block his efforts to subdue the country, not because he fears invasion. NATO is never going to invade Russia. Until Russia’s invasion of Ukraine they were barely maintaining enough forces to hold off a Russian invasion.

Still he is a Putin sumpathizer no matter where he was born.
