That's really the elephant in the room, if Russia cared about territorial conquest then they'd start with small weak states in the south that could be taken far easier. The whole trouble in Ukraine started with the idea of NATO membership, and making sure that NATO isn't in Ukraine is still the primary concern for Russia.
