Ukraine did not have any nuclear weapons after it relinquished them all in early 90s.

  Russia certainly has a nuclear base in Sevastopol, Crimea. It is a base of the Russian Navy and the main base of the Black Sea Fleet. Would Americans be fine with annexing Rammstein if Germany went through a coup d'etat and the fascist leaders of the coup decided they wanted to gain access to the nuclear weapons stored there? I'm pretty sure they would. So why is it not acceptable for the Russians to protect their weapons of mass destruction from mis-use?

    They can protect them. In fact, they can just take them out of Sevastopol. They weapons aren't tied in any way to Sevastopol, the Russians can keep them somewhere else. Now, of course they want to have base and weapons there, but this is just back to "furthering geopolitical goals".
