We are talking about 2,000 Russian servicemen from the Primorsky and Kamchatka Krais of the Russian Federation."

Details: Intelligence reports that about 400 more soldiers from the military units of the 11th Air Force and Air Defence Army, stationed in Russia's Khabarovsk Krai, will "patch up the holes" of the Russian 155th and 40th Marine Brigades, which are understaffed due to huge losses.

Part of the personnel from the military formations of Russia's Far East will join the new motorised infantry brigade, which is being formed in Voronezh.

DIU reported that these Russian military formations have not been directly involved in hostilities against Ukraine before.
