Not western Europe, no. Not yet at least. But Russia does threaten eastern Europe. The Baltics in particular are high on Putin's wish list. And if he invades there, and the EU and NATO is slow to respond, that could easily be the end of NATO. Of course Russia can't attack western Europe right away, but he can weaken it by taking a bit at a time from eastern Europe. And Ukraine is part of that. Europe should really be stepping up there, but they keep telling themselves that Russia can't invade western Europe, so it's not that urgent.
