What does ‘indivisible security’ mean and where did it originate?

At its most crude, it means security should be seen as a collective concept so if the actions of one state threaten the security of another, the principle of indivisible security is breached. Therefore no state should strengthen its security at the expense of another.

The principle was first set out in the 1975 Helsinki Act, but also appears in the 1990 Charter for a New Europe and in the 1997 Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security – all treaties signed by the west and Russia.

According to Putin, any nation of the former Soviet bloc joining NATO is a security threat to Russia.

How, exactly? And I'm asking for a rational response that makes logical sense, not simply someone's subjective view.

Treaty?
The Russians are talking about a Treaty when it comes to Ukraine?

Like the Treaty they signed to not attack Ukraine when it gave up it’s thermonuclear warheads?
Like the Treaty the Russians signed when they said the territory of Ukraine was autonomous and sovereign?

Russians sound like Progressives here in the US, they only like laws and Treaties that help them in the moment, and ignore everything else and everyone rights.
