They were absolutely working towards it. Their military structure was being realigned and trained with NATO compatibility in mind. But it would have taken a while.

They had vague aims that flipped back and forth - all driven by the known eventuality of Russian aggression. There were about 6-7 years in the 90's where Russia had the potential to go on a different path, after Yeltsin's handling of the financial crisis and Putin's rise to power things were set in stone. The narrative about Russia feeling threatened is completely false, just classic Russian gaslighting about how the consequences of their actions are the reasons for their actions
