Russia captured eastern Moldova? When did they lose it in the first place? I thought the region was locked between Moldova and Russia since the former declared independence.

Russia has military bases and pro-russian forces in eastern Moldova. Russia has plans to attack south of Ukraine (Odessa) from these bases. Please tell me difference between that and "captured".

Well, the difference is that the current situation is like "had it, didn't let go, and still control it" but "captured" means "didn't have it, and took it".
