Russia maintains significant reserves in the north of occupied Crimea to strengthen its groups fighting in Ukraine.

During a briefing at the Military Media Center, Brigadier General Oleksii Hromov, Deputy Chief of the Main Operational Department of the General Staff, shared this information.

“The enemy maintains reserves in the north of occupied Crimea to strengthen its troop groups in the Naddnipriansk and Orikhiv directions. The city of Dzhankoi and the surrounding areas have actually turned into the largest military base on the temporarily occupied territory of the Crimean peninsula, from where Russian occupation forces, weapons, and military equipment are being redeployed from the Russian Federation,” Oleksii Hromov said.

The Brigadier General stated that, according to intelligence, about 750 pieces of weapons and military equipment are located in the field park in the Medvedivka settlement of the Dzhankoi district.

He emphasized that the priority for the Russian Federation remains maintaining positions in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and at the transport “corridor” to the temporarily occupied territories of Crimea.

It is worth noting that there has long been a powerful logistics center for the Russian troops near the city of Dzhankoi, and a repair base was created on the basis of it to restore the damaged equipment of the invaders.

In June, the publication Krym Realii reported that the Russian military started to develop a base in the Dzhankoi area.

A temporary deployment point was set up on the outskirts of the village of Novostepove.

The correspondents noticed military trucks, towed howitzers, armored personnel carriers, and radar and communication equipment near the Simferopol-Dzhankoi highway. There is also a tent camp near the plantation.

In August, Ukrainian troops destroyed one of the Russian military bases near Dzhankoi.

Weapons and ammunition were loaded on echelons at this railway station of the logistics center to supply Russian invasion forces in Ukraine.

As a result of the sabotage, Russian military equipment was destroyed, in particular, the Grad MLRS and depots with various artillery ammunition.
