They were bound by the rule of the committee of CIS leaders.

It covers an area of 20,368,759 km2 (7,864,422 sq mi) and has an estimated population of 239,796,010. The CIS encourages cooperation in economic, political and military affairs and has certain powers relating to the coordination of trade, finance, lawmaking, and security. It has also promoted cooperation on cross-border crime prevention.

If they are still independent states, that implies they can leave anytime they want if the commonwealth's demands become too onerous.

Think Brexit.

If they can't, then it means the Russians wanted to just rename the Soviet Union.

But, you still haven't explained what gives Russia the *right* to tell Ukraine who they can and can't ally with.

I completely understand why it isn't in Russia's interest, but basically they are not the boss of Ukraine, so Ukraine doesn't have to care what Russia wants and doesn't want, anymore than Poland has to care.
