I believe the missile shield excuse is providing convenient cover for them to be aggressive in a way that they wish they'd never given up.

The Russians probably regret giving up their aggressive tendencies after witnessing the recent actions of the United States government. It was the
United States who stopped acting like an ally to Russia. Some might even point to the very election of Vladimir Putin, a former KGB strongman, as an announcement to the world that Russia will no longer put up with what they perceive to be increasing encroachment around their borders.
Russia is doing exactly what we would have done with only about half the intensity.
