There are several factors that caused the relations as we see them today:
-The city of Sevestopol, where the Russian Black sea Fleet is stationed has caused disagreements and tensions.
-Ukraine supplied weapons to Georgia, which were used in last years South Ossetian war. For example - the shooting down of Russian aircraft using air defence systems provided to Georgia by Ukraine has caused alot of tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
-Gas disputes are another cause of tensions between the two countries.
There are many including such countries as Finland. The most popular one in current events though is Ukraine, as Russia and Ukraine have had a strained relationship for quite a while.
