They have been for awhile. Georgia, for instance.
They’ve been threatening countries like Finland, Sweden, etc. every time they consider it too.
When it was non-western aligned Soviet breakaway republics, it was easier to ignore.
The invasion of Ukraine was too obvious and ham handed. Moscow has doubled down on the threats to those on the fence since then, enough to push folks back over to the other side.
Which likely just pushes Russia more solidly into doubling down/existential threat mode.
