If they wanted to reaming independently why did they want to join nato
I cannot speak for them. But in general, smaller countries tend to align themselves with larger allies when they feel threatened by larger powers. If you look at Ukranian history from before world war 1, they have always been under Russian threat. Russia's invasion of Georgia is the type of thing that will make a country like Ukraine look for larger allies.

In my experience working with Ukranians, they have always been pro western. Even the pro Putin Ukrainians from the Eastern part of the country (that I am in touch as and have worked with) want to settle in US/Canada. Those of them who got here want to move their entire family here somehow. Their attitude is very similar to that of South Asian people.

So take your pick. For security or economic prosperity, it is for them to decide.

Why do they have to trust Russia? A country that they perceive to be an ethno national state?

Will Pakistan be ready to take dictates from India?

where you were from and still waiting
So that is your so-called original question which has nothing to do with the topic and you make a whoaha about it.

Do you understand what is privacy?

You have asked a personal question which I reserved the right not to respond.

Although I suspects many in here already knew the answer.

All I am prepared to tell you is I am a citizen of a nation whose GDP per capita exceeds those of the US and where we the citizen abides by and respects the laws of the land.

No. I am neither a Russian nor a Chinese National.

So don't you think it is rather strange when we come across such reports.

I thought the Russians were the bad guys in here and the good guys the Ukrainian Forces and AZOV the defenders get a beating from the locals.

Who should we believe?

Who is telling the truth?

The NATO is giving such deadly weapons in such numbers that Russia will either get defeated, stalemated, degraded or at best get a pyrrhic victory.
If they want NATO members to fall out on this policy, they will have to beat them with their own schtick... Anti-aircraft, NLAWs, kamikaze drones " lost" in Ukraine should mysteriously turn up in the hands of Somali militias and pirates, Yemeni militias, Hezbollah and Hamas, Iraqi militias, Mexican cartels, breakaway IRA, Catalonians, Greek Red army etc.
Somali and Yemeni pirates can easily be persuaded to target shipping to and from NATO with NLAWs for a price for example.
There can be a hundred variations of accidents.. and used NATO weapons left behind. Russia has basically nothing left to loose at this point... They have been driven to the wall.
Also, the Chechen footages with takbeers may be good PR with the huge Muslim crowd. They should mention incessantly that Ukraine were part of the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan..
