One written, formal, and signed agreement that I’m aware of are the Budapest memorandums, which were between still-existing countries: Ukraine, US, UK, Russia.
When Putin was confronted in 2014 about his country’s apparent violation of these agreements when invading crimea, he said “a new state arises, but with this state and in respect to this state, we have not signed any obligatory documents”.
So he thought a change in leadership of a country (Ukraine) was enough to absolve him of written formal agreements. Not sure why a non written, non formal assurance of no eastward NATO expansion with a now defunct country (USSR) somehow carries lots of weight.
