Russian officials have claimed that NATO has violated the NATO-Russia Founding Act. In this video, one of the key negotiators of the Founding Act, Ambassador Alexander Vershbow, explains why this is a myth. NATO has respected its commitments, Russia has not. By signing the Founding Act, Russia pledged not to threaten or use force against NATO Allies and any other state. It has broken this commitment, with the illegal annexation of Crimea, the territory of a sovereign state and Russia continues to support militants in eastern Ukraine.
