Moldova voted narrowly to change their Constitution to allow EU membership. They're not invited yet.

Russia still occupies Transnistria and Moldova can't, or won't try, to dislodge them. So, Russia just waits. Maybe they're amplify that insurgency when they've resolved Ukraine, maybe not. The important thing is to have a club to threaten the Moldovans with.
