Why the Russian Federation occupied Crimea and Donbas: the media have declassified secret threats of the Kremlin (video)
During one of the conversations, then the leader of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev, threatened that Ukraine would lose its territory if it dare to exit the Union. At the same time, the US said they would agree with the Ukrainian choice.
