And this is EXACTLY what he told the world on the eve of his invasion.
There can be NO treaty that does not address Putin specifically renouncing his laughably egregious, stale-ass, sophomoric, take-your-deranged-Communifesto-and-shove-it-right-in-your-pootie-pipe:
"In view of the historical destiny of Russia and its peoples, the Leninist principles of state-building were not only a mistake, but far worse than a mistake. After the collapse of the USSR in 1991 this became absolutely obvious.Of course, the events of the past cannot be changed, but we must at least speak about them directly and honestly, without reservations and without political coloration. I can only add that the considerations of the current political conjuncture, however spectacular and advantageous they may seem at a given moment, should not or cannot under any circumstances form the basis for the fundamental principles of statehood.
This is neither the time nor the place to discuss issues of state or constitutional law and to define the concept of citizenship. Nevertheless, the question arises: why did the country have to be shaken even further under these already difficult circumstances?"
Putin said it out loud, in black and white, and laid down a permanent marker: "You -- the Ukraine, Latvia, ALL NATO members, have no 'state', you have no "national sovereignty", and you have no 'citizenship' -- other than what I grant you of all of those 3 -- so, I'm going to Kiev (to get my ass kicked)".
