There is an ongoing special operation near the city of Mytishchi with several Rosgvardia SOBR teams who came under fire after trying to search a home for weapons. This clip likely shows a GM-94 grenade hitting the window.

Being able to defend Crimea is an important mission for the Russian military given its location (Russia will test its ability to defend its other isolated region in Europe, Kaliningrad, during Zapad 2021), and a strong demonstration there makes sense with a new US admin.
Also worth noting that Ukraine's military continues to increase its capabilities, including procurement of TB2 UCAVs. So Russia may change its posture there in response to changes in the military balance of power vis-a-vis Ukraine that aren't always related to the US/NATO.
Nonetheless, the heightened response from the DoD indicates that there may be things we aren't seeing publicly, and there has been a recent increase in fighting in the Donbas. As Michael said, it is worth following without making strong conclusions yet.

Rostec's Bekkhan Ozdoev said that Russia has successfully tested its loitering munitions in combat conditions in Syria, and noted that they are "very effective tools on the battlefield" that are cheaper than missiles and nearly invisible to radar.

He noted that loitering munition production will go to the Russian Armed Forces first before exports, though he said there is ample foreign demand. He said the Korsar UAV is undergoing trial operation. 2/
When asked about the negative articles in the foreign press about the Pantsir air defense system after losses in Syria and Libya last year, he called it a "planned campaign aimed at discrediting Russian military products in general and the Pantsir in particular." 3/ Image
