“Russia was strongly opposed to NATO membership for Ukraine and
continued to believe that it would be destabilizing for Ukraine and the
region.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Counselor for NATO issues Gregoriy
Sumki said that Ukrainian NATO membership would "drastically affect"
Russian-Ukrainian relations in all spheres, including political,
economic, and military-industrial (military assistance and arms
production agreements).”WIKILEAKS DOCUMENT OF 18 JANUARY 2008 ON SUBJECT

“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.

2.  During his annual review of Russia's foreign policy January 22-23
(ref B), Foreign Minister Lavrov stressed that Russia had to view
continued eastward expansion of NATO, particularly to Ukraine and
Georgia, as a potential military threat.  While Russia might believe
statements from the West that NATO was not directed against Russia, when
one looked at recent military activities in NATO countries
(establishment of U.S. forward operating locations, etc. they had to be
evaluated not by stated intentions but by potential.  Lavrov stressed
that maintaining Russia's "sphere of influence" in the neighborhood was
anachronistic, and acknowledged that the U.S. and Europe had "legitimate
interests" in the region. But, he argued, while countries were free to
make their own decisions about their security and which
political-military structures to join, they needed to keep in mind the
impact on their neighbors.

3.  (U) Lavrov emphasized that Russia was convinced that enlargement was
not based on security reasons, but was a legacy of the Cold War.  He
disputed arguments that NATO was an appropriate mechanism for helping to
strengthen democratic governments.  He said that Russia understood that
NATO was in search of a new mission, but there was a growing tendency
for new members to do and say whatever they wanted simply because they
were under the NATO umbrella (e.g. attempts of some new member countries
to "rewrite history and glorify *fascists*").”WIKILEAKS DOCUMENT OF 1

GLEN OWEN (DAILYMAIL) @ 1258 HOURS ON 6 MARCH 2022: "BRITISH SPIES USE
GAY DATING APP GRINDR TO TRACK VLADIMIR PUTIN'S SOLDIERS:

British intelligence services helped to monitor the Russian invasion of
Ukraine by tracking the soldiers' use of social networking sites –
including the gay dating app Grindr.

As Russian forces mobilised on the Ukraine border, UK spies grew
increasingly certain that Vladimir Putin was planning a full invasion
after tapping into messages exchanged on sites such as VKontakte, known
as VK for short, which is the Russian equivalent of Facebook.

A source said secrets were also shared on dating sites such as Grindr.
Putin banned homosexual 'propaganda' in 2013, but the app is still used
discreetly, even in the military.

The source said: 'These sites were a treasure trove for our spies, and
the dating apps in particular – soldiers and those involved in the
military effort were particularly unguarded. It meant we were very au
fait with the plans and the imminence of the invasion, right down to
details such as the movement of blood supplies to the Russian troops.'
