Don't be silly. Perhaps NATO will back off now? If you were in the Russian...

Government would you be comfortable with the increasing NATO expansion over the year's? The answer to that is no. NATO has been getting closer and closer to Russia for years. The direction of travel has been only one way. Russia starts to move westwards only now when NATO approaches it's borders. If I was Russian president I would not want the American's and NATO anywhere near the borders of Russia. We are not the "good guys". Neither is Russia either. But, the war in Ukraine was most probably preventable.
