And what about provocation by US to expand NATO Eastward near Russian borders and that too against the agreement between Boris Yelstin and George Bush that there will be no new NATO members and in fact US agreed to reduce presence of NATO forces and weapons systems from Europe but exactly opposite happened....
That's a bunch of crock.
First thing first: there was a verbal agreement (only treaties are binding) with the Premier of the USSR. The USSR no longer exists. The agreement therefore became moot.
Second thing: Russia signed and ratified a binding treaty agreement that they would respect and guarantee Ukraine's sovereignty. Given what happened in 2014 and now, it's quite obvious that the Kremlin has no room to talk about broken agreements.
Third thing: the right for any country to join the alliances and organizations of their wish is their sovereign right alone. If Ukraine wants to join NATO, then it's Ukraine's sovereign choice to want to join NATO. Third countries cannot forbid that. Only NATO countries have a say in that they can refuse or accept membership.
Fourth thing: the US presence in Europe had been continually decreasing from 1991 to 2014. Blame Putin for reversing the trend.
The Pentagon has announced that as many as 8,500 troops have been put on standby to be deployed in Europe as a counter to the threat of the Russian military buildup on Ukraine’s eastern border.

Not only US expanded NATO by providing membership to former Russian Warsaw pact allies like Poland Romania but also former Russian States and now were almost on the verge of giving NATO membership to Ukraine too...
Nope, no one was "on the verge" of giving NATO membership to Ukraine. Because NATO membership requires unanimous agreement, meaning anyone can veto new arrivals, as Turkey as aptly demonstrated. And Ukraine's NATO membership had been blocked precisely in a vain and futile attempt at appeasing Russia. In hindsight, a bad decision.
Also US placed all their modern weapons both conventional as well as nuclear weapons too in Europe. Apart from this US kept on sanctioning Russia for one reason or another and tried to destabilize its economy through various means like banning Russian crudeOil and Gas...
There's been no new modern US nuclear weapons in Europe since the NPT. In fact, there's less US nukes in Europe, not more, since Greece left the NATO nuclear sharing program. Nuclear sharing also relies exclusively on some dumb gravity bombs, meaning they're delived by aircraft that have to fly right above the target. It's largely pointless nowadays.
And Russia was under no US sanctions until 2014, when they decided to break international law, annex Crimea, and create ab nihilo some bullshit separatist republics like they've done in Georgia or Moldova.
Western countries do everything from sanctioning, financial/economic blockades and boycotts, political pressures, political boycott and will even go to the extent of carrying out ASSASSINATION or big political leaders or carrying out TERRORIST ATTACKS (Taliban and ISIS are US creation) on countries opposing their world order and dollar domination as FOREX.
Russia does all that too, plus massive strikes deliberately aimed at civilians. It's just that their currency is crap so they can't use it as a tool of influence like America can.
Look at that, it's what makes them happy. They broadcast footage of screaming people getting blown up to
cheer themselves up because they just love being evil. At the end they're all upset because one of them remind them that this is militarily useless and will just result in more Western help for Ukraine.
As for Taliban and Daesh as US creations, not really. The Talibans are a Pakistani creation, but it's true that they used US money. Daesh arose from America bungling their occupation or Iraq, which they should never have done, but that was not an intended consequence. So yeah, if you contort logic enough, you can blame both on the US, but that's not the same thing as deliberately creating terrorist militias... which is what Russia did in Ukraine with the Sparta Battalion and others.
I'm reminded of this:
It's astounding how true that is. All these Internet keyboard warriors going "America did a bad thing, therefore Russia has the right to do even worse things!"...
