🇷🇺 Russia seeks to deploy 10,000 troops in Transnistria near the Odesa region, according to the Financial Times. Moldovan PM Dorin Recean says Putin aims to achieve this by installing a pro-Kremlin government in Moldova.

How though? Transnistria borders only Ukraine and Moldova, neither of which would willingly allow Russian troops to pass through.

He is basically saying Russia is trying to interfere in Moldova's elections to try to install a pro-Russian Moldovan who will then allow Russian troops into Transnistria, of course, that still doesn't exactly answer the question of how they get into Moldova, via sky? Ukraine will shoot them down, via sea? Ukraine will blow it up, and only a very tiny part of Moldova touches the sea anyway, Lol.

So it'd have to be an extremely covert op still, like "regular Russians" moving to Moldova via Romania, but oh, they turn out to be Russian military, Lol. Russia did this tactic in Donbas and Crimea but they had direct routes to those, so it'd be complicated still, they'd still have to go through Romania but Romania came extremely close to electing a pro-Russian President recently...So it's not entirely impossible.
