You are wrong. There are 2 different words in the Russian language, "русские" for ethnic Russians and "россияне" for the rest who are not always White. Rich Rossiyans are always documented. Undocumented Rossiyans are LGBT, those who refuse to join the army, or the opposition.

Asylum seekers from the RF are being deported, ethnic Russians or not. There is a recent article about one from Perm who was immediately arrested and on trial in the RF. He is getting 5 years minimum. "Illegal Russians" in the US are not pro-Putin, not always White and they are deported.

It allowed the three newly independent states to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaties and get monetary support associated with that status. The series of agreements were ratified by Rada. Shevchenko, who started working on those is dead, but Kuchma is alive. Ask him.

The RF was incentivized to sign the memorandum and the related treaties because it was the requirement to other agreements on sharing the USSR assets and debts. The nukes were destroyed, paid for and supervised by international inspectors. The republics were paid for remaining enriched uranium.

None of the three republics, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Ukraine, possessed anything. Legally, it was not theirs and physically it was on the territories of the RF bases. The weapons were worse than worthless. The aged weapons were dangerous. The RF was not forced to sign these treaties too.

That's based on a lot of ifs - if Ukraine didn't vote to rejoin some kind of a union. - if the subsequent government were consistent on where they wanted to be re-RF/West - if Ukraine was ready to forgo the advantages of non-nuke status - if the nukes were safe to store&operate - and they were not
