The occupiers will deploy all Crimean conscripts to the front lines starting April 1
The Russian command plans to deploy all mobilized personnel currently stationed in occupied Crimea to active combat operations starting April 1, 2026.
According to a report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the reinforcements will be sent to bolster the 810th Separate Marine Brigade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces Vladislav Voloshin confirmed that these forces are intended to replace the wounded and reinforce units currently operating in the Kursk direction.
The occupiers have also launched a large-scale reorganization: they plan to expand the 810th Brigade into a full-fledged division.
This is not the first such attempt by the aggressor to strengthen its marines—earlier, similar transformations took place in the 155th and 336th Brigades of the Pacific and Baltic Fleets.
Counterattacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the southern sectors of the front are forcing the enemy to quickly change its plans.
“Russia plans to redeploy units of the 55th and 120th Marine Divisions to the area of responsibility of the 29th Combined Arms Army,” ISW analysts note.
Particular enemy activity is observed in the Oleksandrivka and Huliaipole directions.
Since early March 2026, the invaders have been redeploying so-called “elite” units of the Airborne Forces and the Marine Corps, which were previously stationed in the Donetsk region, to these areas.
As a reminder, Russian occupiers are killing each other due to a lack of communication at their positions.
The occupiers also attacked residential buildings and a port in the Odesa region with drones.
