They'd be really stupid if they try anything now, Ukraine has been practically begging Moldova to let them deal with the Russian troops in Transnistria because they'd deal with them pretty swiftly and be able to pull forces away from Transnistria's border but Moldova is understandably afraid since their army isn't strong or big, they would need help securing their side and Romania probably wouldn't help them.
If they push their luck, Ukraine would wipe them out. It'd be suicide for Transnistria, one HIMARS for example covers more than half of Transnistria and all 3 Battalions and the airport are in Tiraspol, Lol. But if Moldova wants in NATO then at some point they'll have to deal with this problem, either by kicking the Russians out with the help of Ukraine and taking back control or giving up territorial claim over Transnistria.
