There is no way to know for sure if any of the troops or missiles in Ukraine are currently under our direct control. What we do know for sure is that if Ukraine joins NATO, they will have troops and missiles there under NATO control. That has always been the core of the issue. Unfortunately, as long as NATO refuses to recognize the legitimate security concerns of Russia, just like the Soviet Union refused to recognize the legitimate security concerns of the USA in 1962 (before they stood down), we will be on the edge of nuclear annihilation. Even more unfortunate is that many people are so emotionally involved in this conflict due to blanket propaganda that they are unable to make rational decisions. Nobody in 'The West' is going to be arguing over who should have had sovereignty over Eastern Ukraine after the nuclear holocaust.
