Do you think the majority of Ukrainian citizenry wanting to be in EU is just western disinformation and its not believable they would want that?
I think it's definitely possible that that fewer Ukrainians wanted to be in the EU than the 'official' poll's from the time suggest. Particularly when it comes to the citizens of eastern Ukraine.
As well, given that Brexit happened and why, I'm not sure the EU is something sane people want to join.
Do you think it is fair and not justifying of mass popular protest if the government of Ukraine would decide to disregard that will and opt for closer ties with Russia instead?
I think Ukraine is/was a corruption ridden shithole, that has been been run roughshod over by it's neighbors (not just Russia, looking at you Poland, and of course the Mongol's ran through there back in the day as well), and that the US and West would have been better off not getting involved with Ukraine in the first place.
It also ended up with Operation Paperclip. South Korea and Taiwan, outright authoritarian states in their early days. And supporting Kurds against ISIL. So its not like these decisions always go bad.
They've gone bad and cost US civies, or dragged us into fights we had no need to be in, too many times.
Also, SK took the US civie ship building industry and plays a game with their northern neighbor to bilk aid out of US and China, and Taiwan tries to hold us hostage to their tech fab industry.
Both are situations where older gens could have killed the CCP in the crib, but chose not too, and the younger gens are paying for their mistake, and are being forced to abide the games both SK and Taiwan play in their hostage situations.
You know damn well that there is no end to the purity spiral, and there is no reward for using it.
Imagine what Taiwan would be if people thought the same way few decades ago.

The "extremist" Ukraine of today is far more civil and democratic than Taiwan was back then.
This isn't about a purity spiral, it's about how the Western narrtive around Ukraine ignores the Neo-Nazi issue and how corrupt Ukraine's govs have been, and the risks accosiated with possibly engageing actual Russian troops in combat if NATO forces enter Ukraine.
I am someone able to look at a larger picture than the US MIC wants the public to look at, and acknowledge facts that are incovienent to the narrative of Western powers, because I was born after the Cold War ended, and do not automatically assume Russia never has any legit points or reasons.
After all, the underlying point of NATO's eastward push is to put weapons closer and closer to Moscow, for first strike use, even if no NATO politician or military leader will admit it.
