Treaties are binding (although countries can of course ignore or infringe on them as well, its not like there is a world government to take the violator to task). Personal agreements from a specific head of government not so much.

Which is to a fair extent a good thing as it would give too much power to one person to bind a country indefinitely.

The Russian's could have tried to get a treaty to this effect with the US, or with all of the NATO countries at the time, but it would be unlikely to get such a treaty, even if it was to offer more in concessions then they were probably willing to offer, and esp. not if it offered little or nothing, and esp. not if the treaty was supposed to be for an unlimited duration with no chance to adjust for changing circumstances.
