Expect Putin to move on Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and to finish off Ukraine as an independent country by the end of summer. Poland, the Czech Republic, and Romania are not far behind; probably in mid 2018, if Europe destabilizes and elects a bunch of RW Nationalist in this next round of elections - and if he still has enough army to do so.
Russia historically has only felt secure with satellite buffer states protecting the power base from any potential threat; and Putin's party has shown there is no interest in playing any part of global unity unless they can exclusively call the shots.
Thanks to Stalin and his practice of moving Russian settlements into all the Soviet territories, there are enough generations ethnic Russians in all those countries to "justify" Putin's "Great Leader" move to "protect" them by taking back all those former Soviet territories - especially ones with ports and access to resources.
