Apparently, there’s been an “explosion” in a government building in Transnistria. Do any of you have any further information about this?

I think what they mean by saving Mariupol through this action means that they could capture the Russian troops in Transnistria, and offer them in a sort of prisoner exchange for the release of the soldiers caught in Azovstal.
Yeah, there is no way this would work.
It won’t work if Ukraine tries to go in alone, the region is too well defended, lot of soldiers for its size and several thousand Russian ones too. Plenty of heavy equipment and ample ammunition. However in case of an attack from both sides it is virtually undefendable, the river might stall attackers from the west for a short while but ultimately it would fall. The real danger now is if NATO manages to pressure Moldova into “inviting”, say, Polish or Romanian forces in to “liberate” the territory.
I would say that is a long shot but not impossible. Mainly i think the threat is being built up to distract Russia from the Donbass and make them divert resources and attention away.
But who knows. If there is anyone crazy enough to start an escalation that gets us one step closer to WW3 it’s Ukraine. Or Poland.
