It is actually just another example of Russias' behaviour in treaties.
Although the treaty may stipulate a sharing of powers and certain
rights and obligations, Russia gladly exercises the rights but neglects
the obligations and the provisions for sharing of powers.
It's like the camel once it has stuck its nose into the tent.
And then it claims that the treaty was for the everlasting submission
of the other party to russian domination.
