First Syria falls, Transdniestria next?
They would like to remake the Soviet Union. They want to bring back the old times. And we don’t want this. Moldova has been part of the buffer zone for 30 years and for us this meant poverty, corruption, bad governance, emigration. We want to be part of the democratic world.
Moldova's President Maia Sandu speaking about Russia and Vladimir Putin's ambitions. From the Financial Times.
If Russia had managed to overrun Ukraine, Moldova would have been Putin's next target.
There's a narrow separatist region along eastern Moldova which is essentially controlled by Russia. It's known as Transdniestria.

Using Gazprom as its political instrument, the Kremlin threatens to halt natural gas supplies to Moldova temporarily on November 1, and indefinitely from December 1, unless Moldova accepts Russia’s financial and political conditions for continuing gas deliveries (see below). Dmitry Kozak, the deputy head of Russia’s Presidential Administration, directly participates in the gas negotiations with…

Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (informally: PMR) is a self-declared republic within the UN-recognized borders of the Republic of Moldova (Moldova calls it the Administrative-Territorial Units of the Left Bank of the Dniester, or Transnistria autonomous territorial unit). The PMR has been recognized as a sovereign state only by the other three members of the Community for Democracy and Rights of Nations [members: Republic of Abkhazia, Republic of Artsakh, Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, and Republic of South Ossetia - the State of Alania, all four of which are considered “frozen conflicts,” leftover geographic/ethnic/national blips during the breakup of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s].

The "New Russia" project returns, cutting Ukraine into two parts and cutting Ukraine off the sea. Russia's military on Friday said it wants to seize all of Donbas and southern Ukraine -- and reach far as south as #Moldova -- as it outlined its objectives in "the second stage" of the attack on Ukraine. The announcement marks far wider war goals than what Moscow previously stated. "Since the beginning of the second stage of the special operation, and it started just two days ago, one of the tasks of the Russian army has been to take full control of #Donbas and southern Ukraine. That will ensure the opening of a land corridor to Crimea and influence critical elements of the Ukrainian economy," acting Central Military District Commander Rustam Minnekayev said at an annual meeting of the Union of Defense Plants of the Sverdlovsk Region on Friday. "Establishing control over southern Ukraine would also give the Russian army access to #Transdniestria, where facts of oppression of the Russian-speaking population have also been observed," Minnekayev said. Transdniestria is the de-facto breakaway region of Moldova that is not internationally recognized but has pro-Russian leaders and about 1,500 Russian troops stationed there. The #Kremlin used claims of discrimination against the Russian-speaking population to justify its invasion of Ukraine two months ago, along with accusations against #Ukraine and #NATO that supposedly infringed on Russia's security. Before the Russian military retreated from the capital city Kyiv, Moscow claimed that "the first stage" of the attack had been completed, and it is now focusing efforts on the "liberation" of two regions in the east to bring them under the control of pro-Russian leaders in the so-called breakaway Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. Military experts and Western officials linked the Russian retreat from Kyiv to significant losses in personnel and hardware as Ukrainian resistance appeared to have exceeded Russian expectations and toppled the initial goal of swiftly capturing the capital and claiming quick victory. But now, #Russia appears to scale up its official goals again. (w: Ukraine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcrUjlIrbbe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
