First it was Crimea, then Ukraine, now Transnistria (currently "part of" Moldavia.) Russia doesn't need more property, but Crimea is a valuable Black Sea Port, Urkaine is a breadbasket, and I gotta believe this little strip of Moldavia has some strategic value, besides just having a lot of Ethnic Russians. Putin is a schemer par excellence.
