Reread what you wrote. You think Russia is being generous, for _allowing_ Ukraine to trade with the EU.

Russians have to support Putin. They're in a war and it's not like there's an effective opposition for them to support, instead. Russians have no Plan B, and they have learned to accept that.

Also, they like territorial conquest and he keeps telling them that the Empire will live again. So long as the Empire expands, at no direct cost to the ethnic Russians, they will like him. Everyone likes free shit.

But the free shit is about to get expensive, and then we'll see how much they like it.

No i am not telling Russia is generous, i am pointing that Russia has safety issues by the aggressive NATO expansion eastwards, which is the problem.

I could agree with the rest you said.

Yeah, all those eastern countries were tricked or forced to join the only military pack which can protect them.

It has nothing to do with a fact that they were all subjugated to russia's overwhelming love and care for years.

I don't understand why they would want to join.

/s

Thankfully they are not subjucatted now. Only proxy war candidates 😋

It is quiet obvious to see a diffrence between the state Poland, Finnland or Estland is into compared to Ukraine.

So yes they are clearly better off, being part of the alliance, than Ukraine is not till now.

I didn't saw any threats from modern Russia to these countries. I saw them being aggressive against Russia lately though and that was because they were part of the aggressive alliance. So, feeling insecure because you are next to a more powerful country is one thing, being aggressive is another. Also what was Sweden or Denmark afraid of? Anyway time will tell if they chose the right side

What offensive action (not words, not defensive) have been done by Finland, Estland or Poland?

Russia was proofen to be active in the German government digital infrstructure. Russia most probably violated polish airspace and evidence shows that Russia also destroyed the civil aircraft MH17 where 298 civilians died.
