It is a voluntary alliance. Countries apply to join. They’re not coerced.

Small countries will and sovereignty also matters.

Russia perceives small countries bordering them having sovereignty as an encroachment on its territory. Don't they realize that they are supposed to be Russian puppet states?

If Russia would play nice, maybe the countries around them wouldn't mind having win-win deals with them.

But somehow Russia thinks master-slave relationships are better.
