I already provided evidence of this from the national archives in the US, not everything has to go down on paper.
Russia did not respect at all what was effectively put on paper and signed by the Russian President Yeltsin, and also by Lavrov. Here under a small part of it. The full document is added as attachment so that you can check it. The important parts are marked yellow in the pdf.

Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to

5.
The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland and the United States of America
reaffirm, in the case of Ukraine, their commitment not to use nuclear weapons against any non-nuclearweapon State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, except in the case of an attack on themselves, their territories or dependent territories, their armed forces, or their allies, by such a State in association or alliance with a nuclear-weapon State;

the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britainand Northern Ireland and the United States of America will consult in the event a situation arises that raises a question concerning these commitments.
This Memorandum will become applicable upon signature.
Signed in four copies having equal validity in the Ukrainian, English and Russian languages.
-------------------------------------------
For decades Russia is infiltrating and trying to take over Ukraine again. So their signature is worth nothing. They broke every condition they agreed with in this document. They even installed Yanukovich who was a puppet listening to Putin. So basically Ukraine was already taken over by Russia. Which is completelly the opposite of what was agreed and signed.
All this is on paper but has no value if signed by Russians.
