Yesterday, we suggested that Russia might be moving troops towards Ukraine from the Central Military District, which lies in the Urals and Siberia.
Now we have confirmation, indicating something more than a routine exercise.

Yet another video of a train with Russian military vehicles was posted on TikTok on April 2.
@666_mancer spotted a carriage number and ran it through "gdevagon" - a railcar tracking databse.
The carriage is travelling from Yurga in Siberia to Voronezh at the border.

We were tipped off about yet another military train video - this time on VKontakte, filmed in Novosibirsk (we confirmed the location, with the train heading west).
In the comments, they said the "kontractniki" (professional soldiers) from Yurga were sent towards Ukraine.

Two military units are based in Yurga - the 74th Motorized Rifle and the 120th Artillery brigades.
Uragan multi-launching rocket systems and BMP infantry fighting vehicles, seen on the trains, match the equipment of those units.

Sending troops this far can't be explained away with exercises — short of strategic maneuvers, not due till autumn (Zapad-2021).
This suggests the units are indeed being sent to put pressure on Ukraine — or prepare for an offensive.
Our monitoring continues.

Update: yet another video shows T-72B3 tanks on a train.
Gdevagon rail tracker shows the train is travelling to the border from Yurga in Siberia.
The sender and receiver IDs point to Yurga-based 74th motorized brigade which has T-72B3 tanks since 2015.
