Claim 2: “the left bank (of the Dniester River, of Transnistria - TASS), home to more than 220,000 Russian citizens”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While Wikipedia confirms that Transnistria is a breakaway state with a Russian military presence (OGRF), none of the provided evidence sources provide a specific population count of '220,000 Russian citizens' living there. The web search results for this claim were irrelevant dictionary definitions of the word 'more'.
