While a US commitment that NATO would not expand towards Russia was made during talks with the Soviets in 1990, and remains a topic of heated dispute, no undertaking was written into the treaty on German reunification.
I mean number 4 though:
The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and The United States of America reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used.
granted that says UN but given the US history we usually acti if the UN will not.

The US fell, and nobody over there noticed.
The US is incable of any decisive action.
It is in a state of political paralysis.
They did say that they ‘might’ ban Tiktok in six months though.
Don’t get me wrong. Im glad we don’t have troops there but im ashamed there is even debate around if we should be supplying ukraine.
