The fact that a small countries is effected by it alliance with a great power, doesn't make the great power or the alliance an empire in any meaningful way. To define empire so broadly robs it of much of its significance. If the small power is forced in to the alliance by the major power, and the major power doesn't just impact the politics of the small power, but greatly impacts it and totally dominates it at times, then you could reasonably call it an empire. That doesn't apply to NATO. That agreement also required that the West to not meddle in the Ukraine. Instead, the West arranged for a coup to replace a pro-Russian government with a pro-NATO government. Both sentences are false. The pledge to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and integrity was a pledge from Russia and the West to Ukraine in exchange for giving up the nukes, not to each other in exchange for the other one butting out. Also the west didn't arrange for a coup. It was more mass uprising and general instability than a coup, and it wasn't orchestrated by and controlled by the west.
