How on earth a 604,000 sq km Ukraine poses an existential threat to 17.1 million sq km Russia? There are at least 5 NATO countries that border Russia already..... By it becoming a NATO member, the balance of power would be havily tilted toward a existential threat to Russia, therefore Russian preemptive invasion was inevtable from Russian POV.
This myth also ignores geography. Only 6% of Russia’s land borders touch NATO countries. Russia has land borders with 14 countries. Only five of them are NATO members. Source.
This invasion seems more like a Russian dream of a Greater Russia than a Russia facing existential threat.
