 seriously, what is the plan here? Surely the most obvious move is for Transnistria to invade Ukraine, but the Russian garrison there is tiny and even using Transnistrian troops their numbers won’t amount to much. Russia can’t reinforce the area as it has not connecting land border. Amphibious landings in that area seem unlikely as well. The most logical play is it forces Ukraine to pull troops from elsewhere to defend its western border, but there could be a twist to that.

Also if Transnistria is used to attack Ukraine then surely Moldova immediately attack Transnistria under the justification that its illegally occupied territory is being used as a staging ground for an illegal war of aggression. Ok, Moldova doesn’t have much of an army itself but against a small Transnistrian force even it might make some headway, particularly as it would mean Transnistria fighting a war on two fronts.
