As far as the Transistria issue they can wipe their hands of it and let Ukraine deal with it if they want.


Russia was hoping that Transnistria would actively enter the war, and they have pointedly refused to do so. In the long run, Transnistria's trade and economic interests are with the EU, not with Russia. If Russia had been able to take Odessa and extend its "land bridge" all the way to Transnistria, then that would be a different story.

Try convincing them of that. Not going to happen. Transnistria is 1950 hardcore Soviet ideology. Strange place. As long as Russia exists, Transnistria will be tied to it. That place is not even recognized as existing by the vast majority of the world.

Similar to the two breakaway regions in Georgia. Russia was allowed to station troops there and look at what now exists with the Georgian government. They are shifting more and more to pro Russian. The Russian creep is real.
