You just answered your own question.
Russia is still aggressive and still needs a deterrent to keep them from waltzing all over their neighbors. They are not going to stop unless there is some threat, a united front against them.
We're more aggressive than they are. They have interests in places where the majority of people speak Russian. Who are we to judge the morality of that? Maybe these people want to be in Russia, who knows if they get a fair referendum to make their own minds up? If most people speak Russian, it doesn't surprise me they vote to be Russian.
Where are our interests?
It's the West who need keeping in check, not Russia.
The point about NATO being an alliance to counter Russia... that's the very point of it, so its continued existence relies on the constant threat Russia poses.
NATO is creating the problem it claims to solve.
