If I decide not to resist an invasion of a stronger military force out of concern for my personal safety and that of my family and friends, and I do not really consider the interests of Moldova. That's just another foreign nation, like Russia. If the Russian army arrives in Moldova, they too can make the decision whether to fight or to surrender.

Incidentally, one million Ukranians have already voted with their feet on staying and fighting. The odds are that they will never see their home again. You have to pause and think about that. How is surrendering a worse outcome than abandoning your country to the invader?
