Russia doesn't feel unsafe at all - at least not in the sense of what Hams/Hezbollah have done to Israel.

Russia's beef is most likely to be geopolitical. They've got Crimea and want as much control over the Black Sea as possible plus the mineral rich Donbas. And so what if Ukraine did join NATO? NATO would push the button? Russia wouldn't as it would be counterproductive.
It's Carth's hypothesis not mine - see his post at 13.16.
