He is concerned about it and that’s why he doesn’t want another 600 mile border with NATO.
Putin has a peace offer on the table, take it or keep fighting. I don’t care either way.
Partly because we expand NATO eastward when we promised the Russians we wouldn't.
Even Biden in 1997 knew the Russians weren't going to tolerate a NATO military presence on its borders.
We're the fomented an an illegal coup in Ukraine and endangered Russia's naval base in Crimea and setoff a civil war in Ukraine.

Those countries are not as close to the Russian heartland as Ukraine. I don’t blame the Russians for being touchy about foreign troops there. The Germans launched three offensives into Russia from Ukraine; the southern prong of Operation Typhoon, Case Blue, and the southern prong of Operation Citadel.
