I think you should just do some reading. You can go a lot further back but one good place to start is the 2014 coup incontrovertibly staged by the US. Followed by the shelling of the Russian population in Eastern Ukraine for 8 years and the breaking of the two Minsk Agreements that were sincerely entered into by Russia but cynically used by NATO leaders to buy time to arm & fortify Ukraine. This last point openly admitted by Merkel and Hollande.

(And 'tone deaf' is quite rich here.)
