Ukraine looks possible. I doubt the others esp as they are already fully signed up members of NATO and therefore under the NATO mutual defence agreement would instantly mean all NATO members were duty bound to assist them militarily.
However Ukraine is not a member (yet). There are the Russian separatists fighting in Eastern Ukraine. If Russia and it's allies (Belorussia particularly) could be seen to coming to the aid of those through some atrocity etc. then I think they may well do or if the corridor to Crimea is threatened they might.
Frightening thoughts though - I had hoped all this was past us in the 90s after the wall came down and the curtain lifted.
