Russia thinks it can attack some of NATOs smallest members that their will be a reaction from the US.
He lied about that, he lied about Georgia when he invaded them, and even lied about the reason to invade Chechnya, so Putin has brought his own problems on himself...the west didn't gorce hom into doing any of those things...he did them on his own.

Since when Ukraine was a member of NATO? Ukraine historical belonged to Russia in terms of geographical area. I wonder what are you going to say when NATO starts attacking Russian forces near their borders? Russian aggression?
The fact is Russia welcomed NATO expansion
Russia warned of retaliatory measures Wednesday after NATO invited the tiny Balkan state of Montenegro to join the military alliance in its bloc’s first expansion since 2009. The move defies previous warnings from Moscow that enlargement of the U.S.-led alliance further into the region would be seen as a provocation.
has a series of cooperation agreements just as it does with Sweden and Finland.
And what about the Chinese? Are they aggressive because they are aiding Ukraine and helping restart its defense industry? How about Belarus, they are working on joint weapons systems with Ukraine as well.
If NATO is the aggressor how did that happen?
Frankly Russia has enough problems with its so call friends undermining it at every turn it really does not need to be looking for trouble elsewhere.

As for your.

These series of NATO cooperation agreements just as it does with Sweden and Finland have only started after the protests in 2015.
And what about the Chinese? Are they aggressive because they are aiding Ukraine and helping restart its defense industry? How about Belarus, they are working on joint weapons systems with Ukraine as well.
You do realize that the Chinese are Russian allies right? or the fact Belarus is Pro Putin Pro Russian?
If NATO is the aggressor how did that happen?
Not sure what your taking in terms of history lessons but it already happened.

And you forget Yanukovych applied to be part of NATO and was denied...long before Poroshenko was president.
