Well, the “anthracite offer” was a fully legitimate tongue in the cheek highlight of the fact, that if Russian occupation administration can send thousands of tons of anthracite from the occupied Donbas to Turkey, why not send it to Transnistria instead, if they’re so much concerned about its wellbeing?
Same story for the Russian ownership of MGRES - ownership is one thing, but it’s not Russian energy company controlling the plant remotely, but their local representatives. It’s them who have the decisive power over what is actually happening on the ground there, not Moscow. What would Russians do if locals decided to operate the plant as they like - go to an international arbitration court, with a complaint regarding an unrecognised “republic” that is actually a legal blackhole, because Russians made it one?
From my perspective, both offers are a clear offer to Tiraspol and Moscow, who should make their mind. Either they play by the latter of law, but in this case everything they’ve been doing in Transnistria and Donbas is illegal, or they’re playing by “dog eat dog” rules, but they shouldn’t be surprised if their opponent does so too. You can’t play by both sets of rules, flexibly switching between them when it suits you.
