The West attacks other countries and has done, off and on, for centuries, as part of our Western European nations' empire building exploits. Right now, we are attacking Islamic State. Are Russian planes and drones also joining in the fun of killing humans with no fear of casualties for them, too?
Ukraine, in the Cold War, was fully part of the USSR - like the three Baltic states. Am I correct in understanding that more of a pro-Russian Ukrainian president, than a pro Western, was fairly elected? That he was ousted from power in February 2014 after anti Russian, pro European protesters were shot dead by the security forces and by snipers? This seems to have prompted Putin to take back Crimea that USSR had given to Ukraine in 1954. Is that correct? The takeover seems to have been a very popular move with the Crimeans.
What we do is turn eastern Europe, except Crimea and eastern Ukraine, into our domain by welcoming them into our European sphere of influence, then into the EU and, later, into NATO. No wonder, Russia is apprehensive and, possibly, more patriotic and nationalist than it has ever been. Nine (or ten)former eastern European satellite states of the USSR are now in the EU and three of them, the three Baltic states, are part of NATO. The other seven are:
Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia.
Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland and Romania. The six created a wide buffer zone along Russia's eastern border. All are now part of the West by virtue of being in the EU. The three Baltic states that were part of the USSR, are in the EU and NATO. No wonder, Russia and Putin were/are anxious to keep Crimea and eastern Ukraine under their sphere of influence.
Even our media use the term, 'Russian backed separatist rebels', rather than the Russian Army fighting in eastern Ukraine. If it had been us, we would have been in there with a fully fledged army, navy and air force attacking the country we had picked on - as we have done for every single year for the last 101 years, at least, according to the 'Guardian' four page spread on 12 February 2014.
The West is Best and must always dominate, control and expand its sphere of influence. The West, with our talk of a EU Army to face up to aggressive Russia, is convinced we are superb with our democratic voting system that the mistaken Muslim countries must also do - down the barrel of a gun: our gun. It is not that the West is arrogant; it is just that we are always so right and Russia and the Arabs are always so wrong. We cannot help but be always so right, for it is in our nature so to be!
According to Google search:

Six former Soviet republics that are part of the EU's Eastern Partnership Programme, according to Radio 4 News on 22 May 2015:

Current Communist Countries: China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam.
Not even Russia is a current Communist country, for it has embraced Western capitalism. Yet, we have turned Russia into our no 2 enemy, after Islamic State as no 1 enemy. Both terrorist states are now used to justify our threatening much of humanity with annihilation with Trident. It must now, definitely, be replaced with four subs, say our militaristic, malevolent, immoral friends.
