@derspiegel has obtained satellite images of aRussian military camp at a training ground in east Crimea, some 280 km by road from Ukraine-controlled territory.
We believe it shows elements of the 58th Army, recently transferred from North Caucasus.

As we and other researchers have noted, units from the 58th Army (known for the 2008 Russia-Georgia war) have been arriving to Crimea, including the 291st Artillery and the 136th Motorized brigades.

Note that the unloading areas for military vehicle trains all point to east Crimea, same as videos filmed on the eastern part of the E97 ("Tavrida") highway.
This suggests that the 58th army units were indeed going into the recently discovered camp.

However, there still has been no comment on the presence of the 76th Air Assault Division, seen quite close to Ukraine-controlled territory

The satellite images also don't appear to show heavy vehicles such as tanks or self-propelled howitzers, also seen transferred to Crimea.
This suggests the 58th Army might have more camps in the peninsula.

The Crimea camp(s), together with the one just south of Voronezh, appear to be the main staging areas of the Russian forces recently transferred towards the Ukrainian border.
We will monitor the situation closely in case there are signs of more camps like these.
