The military base in Gyumri is turning into an epicenter of growing Russian military activity, as revealed by an intelligence report from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. The leadership in Moscow is taking unprecedented steps to quickly replenish its military formations with contingents from various regions of the Russian Federation.
The strategic restructuring includes mobilizing military personnel from the Rostov and Volgograd regions, as well as from the annexed Crimean Peninsula. Parallel to official recruitment, Russian authorities are conducting a large-scale campaign for volunteer registration among ethnic communities in the North Caucasus.
Intelligence analysts define this move as a precisely planned operation with multi-layered geopolitical dimensions. The main goal is to generate tension towards Azerbaijan and neighboring countries by creating potential conflict scenarios.
The diplomatic situation is further complicated by growing contradictions between Moscow and Baku. Mutual accusations, detentions of Azerbaijani citizens in Russia, and arrests of Russian agents in Azerbaijan deepen interstate confrontation.
Ukrainian military intelligence continues continuous monitoring of the redeployments and movements of Russian military formations, ready to respond to any potential geopolitical risk in the region.
