The thing is that while Transdniestra is wholly dependent on Russia (and formerly Ukraine), it was never taken over by Russia. But if all these oblasts were to separate from Ukraine (which I highly doubt), I’m sure Transdniestra would unify or all-but-unify with whatever republic novorussia forms, or if Novorussia joins Russia, it would join too... and be contiguous.

Aren’t Transnistria, Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia all already part of some commonwealth or pact called the Community for Democracy and Rights of Nations?

Moldova is the poorest country in that part of Europe. They might be better off without Transdniestria, which will presumably remain a haven for crime whoever rules it. Moldova voted once against unification with Romania, but maybe they would reconsider if they knew that Transdniestria was permanently lost. But it is hard for a country to accept loss of part of its territory--I remember my mother being upset when Kennedy gave a small piece of Texas back to Mexico (an international court had ruled in Mexico's favor).
The slow-motion annexation by Russia of parts of Ukraine has all the legitimacy of Stalin's annexation of eastern Poland in 1939, and may be as permanent.
