Russia massively redeploys equipment from Crimea to Zaporizhzhia

Russians began to massively transfer military equipment from Crimea to Zaporizhzhia region. In addition, Russia has significantly shortened the training period for the military in order to send them to the front in Ukraine as soon as possible.

This was reported by partisans of the ATES movement and former advisor to the mayor of Mariupol Petro Andriushchenko.

Russia redeploys military equipment from Crimea

Partisans of the ATES movement published a photo of Russian military equipment moving in a convoy from Crimea to Zaporizhzhia region.

"ATES agents have detected and tracked the movement of a convoy of military equipment moving along the highway to the north of Crimea. Probably, the convoy is heading towards the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia region, where Russians are actively engaged in offensive actions and plan to intensify them. Many armored vehicles were spotted in the convoy, including tanks, ACVs and APCs, as well as military tractors and trucks," the parisans reported.

The Russians have changed the way they move their personnel

Meanwhile, Petro Andriushchenko, head of the Center for Occupation Studies and former advisor to the mayor of Mariupol, reported on the "Espreso" channel about a decrease in the movement activity of Russian troops. According to him, the enemy is concentrating efforts in the directions of Pokrovsk, Kurakhove, and Vremivka.

The expert particularly noted the appearance of Crimean units, easily identifiable by their tactical marking resembling a "triangle within a triangle". These units were observed among convoys moving through Mariupol towards northern Donetsk region.

Andriushchenko also highlighted the intensified use of the Russian "Storm V" assault units. The training period for recruits has been reduced to just 2.5 weeks, reflecting the urgency in assembling forces for so-called "meat-grinder" assaults. These units are primarily deployed in the Kurakhove and Vremivka directions.

He emphasized that the enemy can no longer sustain the level of assault activity seen a month ago. The reduction in manpower and equipment, coupled with significant losses, points to the gradual exhaustion of the Russian army.

Let us recall that analysts from the Institute for the Study of War report that Russia is unhesitant about sending its soldiers into "meat-grinder assaults" in Pokrovsk, enabling it to launch up to 30 attacks on Ukrainian forces daily.

Additionally, military analyst Yevhen Dykyi stated that one Ukrainian city is at risk of being reoccupied by Russian forces.
