Мне это заложили в память следующим образом:Two months before the NATO Summit in Bucharest in2008, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov warned US Ambassador William Burns pointedly offears that the issue could potentially  split  Ukraine  in  two,  leading  to  violence  or  even, some   claim,   civil   war,   which   would   force   Russia   to   decide whether   to   intervene’. Burns sent a cable to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice which title was "Nyet means nyet: Russia’s NATO enlargement red lines"(Binney et al., 2014).Despite warnings on the future of Ukraine by President Putin who was present, the 2008 NATO Summit decided to invite Croatia and Albania to become members, and opened the door for eventual membership for Georgia and Ukraine. The statement–pushed through by President Bush himself at the Summit–read: ‘These countries will become members of NATO’(NATO, 2008). By doing so the West–and more in particular NATO–clearly transgressed Russia’s redline.
