What are they going to do, invade Moldova? They already are in the Transnistria region. One of Russia’s objectives for the invasion of Ukraine was to link up with Russian forces in Moldova.

I could be wrong, but I believe Moldova is dependent on Russian oil for most of their energy including heating. But double check.
