“These Russian soldiers are in the Transnistria Region which has an ethnic Russian population in the hundreds of thousands.”
So what? There are millions of ethnic Mexicans in the US. Does that give Mexico the right to invade the US?

“These Russian soldiers are in the Transnistria Region which has an ethnic Russian population in the hundreds of thousands.”
Then it’s time for them to choose. They can be Moldovan or they can be Ruzzian. If it is the latter then they can pack up their stuff and go to Ruzzia.
Or Hell.
Either is acceptable.
