This isn't too surprising IMO. NATO needs to respond without responding.

If they really wanted to push back, they would break the 1997 agreement. The fact that they aren't, suggests that they expect Russia to stop after it finishes its business in Ukraine.

What I wonder, is whether NATO has any unspoken lines drawn in Ukraine. Are they willing to let the entire country fall to Russia, or only parts of it?
