Russia isn't going to do shit about this. And it's definitely not starting WW3 over this.

Even USSR wouldn't have done anything. How many Latin American countries did usa invade during cold war without any repercussions?

Not to mention that this shit actually benefits Russia too. It paints Americans as hypocrites and legitimizes Russian invasion of Ukraine.
