What’s even the end goal here? Can they even sustain a war on all these sides?

Just keep picking increasingly smaller opponents until you find one you can beat?

Hitler went a little crazy opening too many fronts. And he had much more capable armed forces.
Let's see how well this works out for Putin.

The goal is to drive Ukrainian and NATO resources away from the Russian offensives in the four occupied oblasts. Every shell sent to Moldova is a shell not sent to Ukraine.
Any place with a lot of Russians is potentially concerning. Estonia is 23% Russian by ethnicity and cities like Narva, where they are heavily concentrated, could be sites for trouble. Southeastern Moldova is a hotbed of Russian sentiment outside of Transnistria itself.

It's my impression that the governments in the Baltic states would be better equipped to handle attempts at meddling in their internal affairs, is that the case though?

Who knows, perhaps the ammo stockpiled in Transnistria, it´s allegedly a huge quantity but then again my head hurts every time I try to make sense of something done by Russia

I can help you with your headaches.
Just imagine every move made by Russia was done by a toddler picking a strategy based on the colour and shape of it, and if it has shiny moving parts.

Probably not, but having the largest nuclear arsenal in the world is giving someone a power boner nonetheless.
