I don't know how that makes their relationship with the US work either.
I've heard of Russian nuclear developements as well but no missile is undestroyable and every ship has a weakness, the strongest russian nuke Ive heard of is a 100 megaton torpedo designed to be detonated slightly under water in major harbors to create a radioactive tsunami inland and destroy a city with radiation but leave it otherwise habitable.
In short:
Ukraine had a pro russia government
It was overthrown in a popular coup the russians dont respect
New government attempted to join EU and NATO as soon as possible
Was also overthrown
Around this time russia hosts a referendum in crimea about independecence, staying with ukraine, or becoming a part of russia, they vote overwhelmingly to become part of russia, the world in geenral does not consider this a fair election.
There are times when a pro russian government and times when a pro west government are in power in ukraine.
Around the same time separatists start organizing military situations in the east
Ukrainian government responds and gets dragged into a guerilla war in the east
All the while Russia says that the colored overthrow of Ukraine was wrong while supporting a similarly wrong policy of annexing ukraine and supporting the separatists.
In short the official timeline seems to be two superpowers using actual weapons to fight a war.
Behind the scenes it seems to me that they are discussing minority rights and both parties wants to be the one that gets the children on their side but neitehr seems to be good to them.
