Look at where people live in Russia and that will help paint the picture. There are people that live in central and eastern Russia, but the vast amount (roughly 75%) of Russians live west of the Urals.
Moscow is only about 600km from the border with Ukraine, that is far closer then all major European capitals in comparison, it is like imagining a war starting with the enemy right under your nose.
like i am not exactly sure but i think those border are mountainous and more easily defendable while ukraine is less so and way closer to Moscow so ukraine being a nato country would surround their less defensible border, the only two other countries on those borders that would not be on nato would be finland and belarus
How could Russia be surrounded by NATO countries? It's bordered by the Ocean on two sides, and China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan to the South.
