Rußland sieht sich wohl nach wie vor als für die Ukraine "zuständig" ... seltsam, nicht??
Russland fuehlt sich von den USA und der NATO eingekreist, was das US State Department genau einkalkuliert hat. Die kennen die russischen Befindlichkeiten zu genau und wussten, dass sie mit dem Putsch in Kiev die Russen veraengstigen und provozieren wuerden.

B. MOSCOW 182 Classified By: Ambassador William J. Burns. Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). 1. (C) Summary. Following a muted first reaction to Ukraine's intent to seek a NATO Membership Action Plan (MAP) at the Bucharest summit (ref A), Foreign Minister Lavrov and other senior officials have reiterated strong opposition, stressing that Russia would view further eastward expansion as a potential military threat. NATO enlargement, particularly to Ukraine, remains "an emotional and neuralgic" issue for Russia, but strategic policy considerations also underlie strong opposition to NATO membership for Ukraine and Georgia. In Ukraine, these include fears that the issue could potentially split the country in two, leading to violence or even, some claim, civil war, which would force Russia to decide whether to intervene. Additionally, the GOR and experts continue to claim that Ukrainian NATO membership would have a major impact on Russia's defense industry, Russian-Ukrainian family connections, and bilateral relations generally. In Georgia, the GOR fears continued instability and "provocative acts" in the separatist regions. End summary. MFA: NATO Enlargement "Potential Military Threat to Russia"
