I really can't get to worked up about that. The agreement was signed in 2000. That is 25 years ago. If they haven't destroyed a significant portion of the 34 tons by now they weren't ever going to comply. All they have done is bring the truth out into the open.

Header of thread is "Russia in the 21st Century" Here two pieces in regard of Russia - one from 19 century published by Bologna presso Manfredi Manfredo. It's sort of satirical geopolitical map of Europe.
Second one 21 century made by Toonbox Good Animation Studio, Cypruss
Seemingly nothing changed for nearly 200 years in perception of Russia.
