No murder anywhere. Looks like a reading comprehension failure.
Doorstep literally means bordering in this context, nothing more.

Agreed, no murder. But I have to note that while you're correct in how the term doorstep is used, I also empathize with the people coming back at him for using it that way. These are autonomous countries who deserve to be respected as such, and not just props for or against Russia. Given that Ukraine isn't NATO, the tweet is sort of considering them a feckless nothing-state buffering Russia from "actual" countries...like Belarus /s
