The US created this whole fiasco.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, we promised we wouldn't expand NATO eastward towards Russia.
Now, NATO is right on Russia's borders.
NATO was created to defend western Europe against the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore.
So why does NATO still exist? What enemy is NATO expanding towards?
Russia is rightfully wary of NATO expansion, especially in light of the way western governments and western media routinely portray Russia as an imminent threat.
Russia has been invaded by everyone from Genghis Khan to Napoleon Bonaparte to Adolph Hitler. It's natural that they would want friendly, or at least neutral, buffer states between them and any potential invader.
