I admittedly don't know the full history of the what's where's and why's of that situation, but I strongly suspect Russia wasn't really an innocent victim in it...but it doesn't matter, it doesn't give Russia the right to it. There is no legal standing for breaking a "brotherhood". The legitimate response is "to bad, so sad, go away".
