Established relations in February 14, 1992 Russia formerly had an [[Embassy of Russia in Kyiv|embassy]] in [[Kyiv]] and [[consulate]]s in [[Kharkiv]], [[Lviv]], [[Odesa]] and [[Simferopol]]. Ukraine had an [[Embassy of Ukraine in Moscow|embassy]] in Moscow and [[consulate]]s in [[Rostov-on-Don]], [[Saint Petersburg]], [[Tyumen]] and [[Vladivostok]]. Relations between the two country's governments have been unfriendly since the presidency of [[Leonid Kuchma]] expired. Russian Prime Minister [[Vladimir Putin]] allegedly declared at a [[NATO]]–Russia summit in 2008 that [[Ukraine–NATO relations|if Ukraine would join NATO]] his country could contend to annex the [[East Ukraine|Ukrainian East]] and [[Crimea]].<ref name="The Empirical complex of Russians" /> Some analysts believe that the current Russian leadership is determined to prevent a Russian equivalent of the Ukrainian [[Orange Revolution]] in Russia. This mindset is supposed to explain not only Russian domestic policy but its sensitivity over events abroad as well.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7274687.stm "Russia: World watching for any change"], ''[[BBC News]]'' (March 3, 2008)</ref>

Many in Ukraine and beyond believe that [[Energy policy of Russia|Russia has periodically used its vast energy resources]] to bully its smaller, dependent neighbour, but the [[Russian Government]] argues instead that it is internal squabbling amongst [[Politics of Ukraine|Ukraine's political]] elite that is to blame for the deadlock.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7817536.stm "The rifts behind Europe's gas row"], ''[[BBC News]]'' (January 8, 2009)</ref> Later, Putin stated that the government of the Russian Federation respects the sovereignty of Ukraine, while several Russian parliamentarians as well some governors were urging the liquidation of Ukraine.

Starting in November 2013, the decision by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to back out of signing an integration agreement with the [[European Union]] started a period of civil unrest between [[Euromaidan|Ukrainians who favored integration with the European Union]] and [[Anti-Maidan|those who wanted closer ties with Russia]], culminating in the [[Revolution of Dignity]]. Russia took advantage of this political instability to [[Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation|annex Crimea]] in March 2014, though [[Political status of Crimea|Ukraine still claims sovereignty over the territory]]. [[Russian military intervention in Ukraine (2014-present)|Russia has also allegedly supported separatist forces]] in the [[War in Donbas (2014–2022)|war in Donbas]]. In December 2015, Russian hackers reportedly [[2015 Ukraine power grid hack|hacked Ukraine's power grids]] leading to a blackout and widespread terror.
