!!! Well well well well based on that statement i can only conclude 1 of 2 things ..
1. You are lying and you know it spreading kremlin mythical deals and agreements that never happened.. !
2. You are ill informed and are getting your so called "facts " from Kremlin RT NEWS !
This is a myth pressed by Kremlin about the so called promised that NATO would not expand after the ColdWar
Ever agreement and decision made by NATO must be made in consensus and recorded filed and signed by ALL Nato member states before it becomes a fact !! NATO has time after time after time told Russia to show the world where this so called agreement is where is the document that shows such an agreement was ever made !!! And time after time Moscow can not come up with any evidence , prof or any document to back up this so called agreement . WHY IS THAT ?? Because it never happened it's a myth made up by Moscow !!
There is no record of any such-decision having been taken by NATO. Personal assurances from individual leaders cannot replace Alliance consensus and do not constitute formal NATO agreement.
In addition, at the time (1989) of the "promise", the Warsaw Pact still existed so why will any such agreement have been made? . The Warsaw Pact members did not agree on its dissolution until 1991. (So based on that fact even if there was an agreement (and there never was one ) that agreement will have to been made with the USSR and the USSR no longer is a thing as it dissolved in 1991 so any agreement made is now none in void in other words no longer is valid becouse the USSR only belongs in the history books and can not be seen as a legal entity any more...
The idea of their accession to NATO was not on the agenda in 1989.
This was confirmed by Mikhail Gorbachev himself in an interview with Russia Beyond the Headlines: (just google :Mikhail Gorbachev Russia Beyond the Headlines or check out the link here

expansion' was NOT discussed at all, and it wasn't brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility. Not a single Eastern European country raised the issue, not even after the WarsawPact ceased to exist in 1991. Westernleaders didn't bring it up, either."
