Like RecSpec said, his involvement in the airport massacre changes the events; they now have a smoking gun of the events who could inform them of what was going on but more importantly, they say Makarov is the guy who launched the nuke in the desert in Modern Warfare which totally nixes Shephard's reasoning for setting up the airport massacre in the first place. The twist is also pointlessly contrived and really boring too, especially following Soap's death, and makes Yuri just seem more like a device than a character, especially when it seems that he's OK with stealing nuclear weaponry and killing a battalion of soldiers but isn't willing to go along with the airport attack, even though he must know the thing is already a set up to forward his cause.
