EMPs that can do major damage over a wide area basically requires a nuclear warhead. Might take out a city metroplex, but initiating it higher for more coverage means less EM strength and less effect on the ground. And any country would view that as a nuclear attack and respond accordingly.

Non-nuclear EMPs are extremely more limited in area of effect, and would require way more missiles than Russia has, much more what's carried by one ship and a sub, to do a seriously debilitating hit on these US. Not to mention how extremely widespread US assets are. Also, Russia isn't known for "well-placed" attacks, they prefer masses of inaccurate munitions.
