No, Putin isn't giving them a choice. He is the one drafting them, not NATO. They haven't ever met a NATO, nor does it have any impact on their daily lives.

I know a Ukrainian who is doing the same. There's simply no answer to the published words and videos that show Ukraine as a puppet state propped up to take down Russia.
