In 2014, officially strained relations enormously decayed because of the Russian intercession in Ukraine, and its extension of Crimea. Serious monetary and money related assents forced by the European Union and the U.S. in 2014 keep on weakening the Russian economy. Relations in 2016 stay chilly, and are confounded by sharp contrasts with respect to Russian military mediation in the Syrian Civil War.During the administrations of Vladimir Putin, who accepted the top office on the most recent day of 1999, and U.S. president George W. Hedge, the U.S. what's more, Russia started to have genuine differences. Under Putin, Russia turned out to be more decisive in worldwide undertakings; under Bush, the U.S. took an inexorably one-sided course in its remote strategy in the wake of the September 11 assaults. All things considered, Putin and Bush were said to have built up great individual relations.
In 2002, the U.S. pulled back from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty keeping in mind the end goal to advance with arrangements for a rocket guard framework. Putin called the choice an oversight. Russia unequivocally restricted the 2003 attack of Iraq, however without practicing its veto in the United Nations Security Council. Russia has respected the development of NATO into the old Eastern Bloc, and U.S. endeavors to access Central Asian oil and common gas as a possibly antagonistic infringement on Russia's circle of influence.In March 2007, the U.S. declared arrangements to fabricate a ballistic missile destroying rocket protection establishment in Poland alongside a radar station in the Czech Republic.

On 14 February 2008, Vladimir Putin said Russia may need to retarget some of its rockets towards the rocket protection framework: "In the event that it shows up, we will be compelled to react suitably – we will need to retarget some portion of our frameworks against those rockets." He likewise said that rockets may be diverted towards Ukraine in the event that they proceeded with arrangements to fabricate NATO bases inside their region, saying that "We will be constrained to point our rockets at offices that we consider a risk to our national security, and I am putting this evidently now so that the fault for this is not moved later,"
On 8 July 2008, Russia reported that if a U.S. against rocket shield is conveyed close to the Russian outskirt, they will respond militarily. The announcement from the Russian outside service said "If a U.S. key against rocket shield begins to be sent close to our fringes, we will be compelled to respond not in a political manner but rather with military-specialized means." Later, Russia's minister to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin expressed that "military-specialized signifies" does not mean military activity, but rather more probable an adjustment in Russia's key stance, maybe by redeploying its own particular missiles.
On 14 August 2008, the U.S. also, Poland consented to have 10 two-phase rocket interceptors – made by Orbital Sciences Corporation – set in Poland, as a component of a rocket shield to protect Europe and the U.S. from a conceivable rocket assault by Iran. Consequently, the U.S. consented to move a battery of MIM-104 Patriot rockets to Poland. The rocket battery would be staffed – in any event briefly – by U.S. Military work force.

Moreover, the Czech Republic as of late consented to permit the position of a radar-following station in their nation, notwithstanding popular sentiment surveys demonstrating that the greater part of Czechs are against the arrangements and just 18% backing it.The radar-following station in the Czech Republic would likewise be a piece of the rocket safeguard shield. After the assention was reported, Russian authorities said guards on Russia's fringes would be expanded and that they anticipate hurt in respective relations with the United States

In March 2009, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her Russian partner Sergey Lavrov typically squeezed a "reset" catch. The stifler missed the mark as the Russian on the catch was wrongly deciphered by the State Department as "over-burden" rather than "reset".

Autonomous sources reasoned that the rocket had been discharged from a range controlled by Russian-sponsored separatists, who were supplied by Russia with complex weapons, preparing, substantial arms, and hostile to flying machine equipment.
The end of 2014 saw the section by the US of the Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014,[39][40] went for denying certain Russian state firms from Western financing and innovation while likewise giving $350 million in arms and military gear to Ukraine, and the inconvenience by the US President's official request of yet another round of sanctions.
