Let's see,

1997 Russia-NATO founding act.

Putin in 2002 on Ukraine-NATO relations: "I am absolutely convinced that Ukraine will not shy away from the processes of expanding interaction with NATO and the Western allies as a whole. Ukraine has its own relations with NATO; there is the Ukraine-NATO Council. At the end of the day the decision is to be taken by NATO and Ukraine. It is a matter for those two partners." http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/21598

NATO chief Robertson on Putin: "at no point did he raise in a negative way the enlargement of NATO".

2001: GW Bush welcomes Putin to the White House, cooperation established in the war on terror. Russia aids US invasion of Afghanistan.

2008: Obama runs on "Russia is not our enemy", does the "Russian reset" policy, tells Medvedev he will continue cooperating with Russia.

2014: Russia invades Crimea and Donbass with rebels. US response is light sanctions and non-lethal aid to Ukraine. Poroshenko to US congress: "We can't defeat Russia with blankets"

2016: Trump runs on "Russia is our friend, I get along with Putin". Trump was the most pro-Putin president, continues to supply Ukraine with only non-lethal aid, javelins were "not to be used in the conflict zone".

Ukraine is still not a member of NATO to this day.

None of that is "aggression". The only aggression here is from Russia against Ukraine.
