You’d better open Wikipedia or something to find at least basic facts, because what you are saying is 100% not correct. Chechnya was not a political entity on the same level as Ukraine and under Soviet constitution could not leave the union. It was an autonomy within Russia and dissolution of USSR did not automatically grant it independence. Moreover, in 1991-1992 the political entity was called differently and was replaced officially by two regions, one of them being Chechnya, only later. So called “invasions” were in fact a civil war between separatists on one side and loyalists and Russian army on the other side in 1994 and counter-terrorist operation in 1999 (because that was after Beslan, Russian 9/11).
