When the USSR broke up Russia maintained the right to use its base in Crimea and the Ukrainian government was friendly enough to rely on that remaining the case.
The CIA coup was meant to put a regime hostile to Russia in power that would expel the Russian fleet from Crimea and install a NATO fleet as a dagger to Russia’s throat. (along with all the other ways Ukraine was going to be used as a NATO base from which to attack Russia)
