Good question and it is what Russia has been saying….now confirmed by NATO….do as we say and not as we do…
After the meeting, Sherman insisted that Russia must pull back any troops stationed near Ukraine’s border, even though they may be on Russian soil.

So NATO says that Russia has to place troops only where NATO says? (Within their own country?)
Stupid is stupid and telling Russia that they cannot and will not station troops within their own country is stupid at a high level…
So, NATO is the vehicle of imperial conquest and you will do as they say!
I think not…
