I'm not sure who would say that it was to 'stop NATO aggression'

I think the line might be "in response to" or similar, but it's parroted by tankies and russophiles.

NATO's continued expansion around them.

Can we imagine any reasons why Russia's neighbors might want to join a defensive pact to protect against Russia? No? Oh well, must be US imperialism then.

I'm not saying there isn't reason for those countries to want to joint an alliance against their imperialist neighbor, but honestly it's kinda hard not to see how NATO's influence has been abused for purposes other than defense.

Which happened first? NATO expansion, or Russian invasion?

There’s your answer.
