Here, Russia is suffering bigger losses in the war, as Ukrainian strikes keep disrupting the systems the Kremlin needs to sustain its military campaign. As that pressure spreads, Transnistria is becoming harder for Moscow to support, pushing Moldova toward a now or never decision. Russia is weaker than it has been in years, and even Putin has begun admitting it. Recently he has stated that Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries and export infrastructure are working, directly causing the current fuel shortage plaguing Russia. At the same time, mid-range strikes attacks on trucks and bridges are heavily undermining the Russian army’s logistics, disrupting the routes Moscow depends on to move supplies and support its forces inside Ukraine. Analysts argue that Russia is now even losing the war at this rate, as the effects from Ukraine’s strikes are compounded by airports are being shut down, and public support wearing increasingly thinner. They argue that Russia is more vulnerable than ever before and that this is Ukraine's time to deal a decisive blow to remove the threat Russia poses to the West, especially as the more isolated positions like Transnistria become harder to reach and harder to control. Transnistria, the narrow strip of Moldovan territory where Russia has kept a military presence for decades, has long been used to influence Moldova and maintain pressure near southwestern Ukraine. That position is now becoming harder for Moscow to sustain, because Russia cannot reinforce the enclave directly by land, with Ukraine blocking the eastern side and Moldova controlling access from the west. The joint blockade is tightening that pressure even further, leaving Transnistria more exposed just as Moldova is being pushed toward a critical decision. That growing pressure around Transnistria is now creating a real opening for Moldova to remove a Russian presence that has shaped the country’s security for decades, if Chisinau is willing to ask Ukraine to act. Deputy commander of the Third Army Corps Maksym Zhorin has already said openly that Ukraine is ready to rapidly remove Russian forces from Transnistria by force. This becomes clearer from the map, as Transnistria is a long, narrow enclave pressed directly against Ukraine’s border, meaning any operation would begin from the same line where Ukrainian forces are already positioned and could push straight toward the enclave’s main centers. Russia, by contrast, would be trying to defend an isolated position with only a limited force inside it and no easy way to reinforce by land. Under those conditions, a Ukrainian operation could collapse Russian forces in the area quickly once Moldova gives the order. Ukraine is already turning the border with Transnistria into a fortified line built for speed and control. Ukrainian forces are building layered fortifications and obstacles to block any sudden move from the enclave. At the same time, lateral roads are being expanded so units can shift quickly to the right sector should the need arise. Commanders are also making sure whether the troops on this line are fully prepared, while medical services are being readied so the sector can keep functioning even if the situation worsens quickly. This strengthens the border against any move from Transnistria now, while also creating the framework Ukraine would need if Moldova asks it to go in. Russia has already tried to work around that tightening line, and Ukraine shut one of those efforts down when its intelligence services and navy exposed a covert smuggling route from Abkhazia through civilian boats near Snake Island that was being used to smuggle military supplies into Transnistria. So while the political order has not yet come from Chisinau, the balance around Transnistria can still change, and every delay gives Russia more time to make this opening harder to use. Overall, Russia is at its weakest, exactly when Transnistria depends on its support most, as Moscow is already struggling to keep its wider war efforts and is suffering problems at home. The more the enclave becomes harder to hold together, the more it will shift from a Russian pressure point inside Moldova into an exposed liability that Ukraine could help dismantle quickly. However, this leaves the most important decision of the crisis in Moldova’s hands, at a hit or miss moment that may not repeat itself.
