According to Russian journalist Yuri Podolyaki, these forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not able to quickly break the resistance of the Transnistrian Armed Forces without the help of Moldovans and Romanians.

Great military mobilization of Poland and Romania

The purpose of the first phase is to block any offensive actions of the Russians from Belarus and Kaliningrad.
“Military vehicles will be found on highways, expressways and highways, ” the military said.
“The arrival and transit of military convoys will also be used by participants in exercises to host and develop Allied forces, coordinate cross-border activities and co-operate with host states,” he said, without specifying which “host countries”. will be involved in the exercises.

Meanwhile, the Romanian Ministry of Defense, commenting on the information about the transfer of military equipment to the borders with Ukraine and Moldova, stressed that this is a military exercise with the participation of NATO countries.
Disadvantages of Transnistria – What powers it has
The main problem of Transnistria is its geographical location. The self-proclaimed democracy is located between Moldova and Ukraine. At the same time, in relation to Ukraine, Transnistria has been significantly disadvantaged as it is located in a very narrow strip of land and its widest point is only 40 km.
It is pressed by the Dniester River and extends 202 km from northwest to southeast. Defending such territory from Moldova, which has virtually no army and is on the other side, is not difficult. However, it is difficult to avoid bombings by the Ukrainian army, because the whole territory of Transnistria does not have enough depth for a reorganization of troops and logistics.
Currently, there are 1.5-3,000 soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Transnistria. These are the 82nd and 113th Battalions of Motorized Rifles of the Guards and the 540th Battalion. The total strength of the Transnistrian Armed Forces reaches 15,000 troops. These are 4 Motorized Rifle Brigades in Tiraspol, Bendery, Dubossary and Rybnitsa.
In addition, it has four Special Purpose Battalions. In service are: 100 tanks, up to 200 armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, 35 thousand vehicles, BRDM, guns, mortars, Grad MLRS, ATGM anti-tank missiles, 200 air defense systems, 500 military equipment units.
The readiness of the Transnistrian Armed Forces for military operations is unknown, as is the possibility of calling in reserves. In fact, no one knows how many of Transnistria’s 465,000 remaining inhabitants will be recruited. All other thoughts are purely theoretical.
However, it should be borne in mind that half of the population of Transnistria has Russian passports, ie they are citizens of the Russian Federation. So whatever happens there, Russia will help.
