As Putin gets ready to deploy additional soldiers into Ukraine through the occupied area, dozens of Russian tanks and armored vehicles have been seen arriving in Crimea aboard Russian trains.
Moscow has been attempting to take control of eastern Ukraine, which has led to increased fighting in the critical Donbas area in recent weeks.
Putin allegedly had to shift course after a slew of Ukrainian airstrikes in Crimea targeted priceless Russian fighter planes and ammo storage facilities.
Unsettling video captured yesterday shows a large number of T-80 and T-72 tanks, artillery rocket launchers, and armored vehicles near to Taman on the Russian mainland.
Images from Crimean independent media show a huge queue of Russian automobiles.
The peninsula on the Black Sea is just beyond the Kerch Bridge and was taken by Putin in 2014.
The train also carried 122mm regimental self-propelled 2S1 Gvozdika launchers and 152mm self-propelled Msta-S launchers.
Putin is reportedly transporting fresh weapons to the crucial Kherson area, where his soldiers face the possibility of a Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Krym.Realii made the film public as part of Radio Liberty, which is supported by the US government.
It is anticipated that reinforcements would be sent in Donbas and strategically significant Kherson districts.
They were getting ready to cross the Kerch Bridge when they saw a line of tanks on top of Russian trains.
Russia’s reinforcements happened at the same time that Dmitry Medvedev, an ex-president and prime minister, said his boss was “very circumspect” in his use of violence in Ukraine.
“We recognize that [the conflict] is currently moving in accordance with the most sparing, mild alternative,” the Putin lackey added.
He stated: “Our nation, as well as the military of the Donetsk Republic and the Luhansk Republic, operate solely against the armed forces of Ukraine,” denying any reports of civilian fatalities.

In Rostov-on-Don, a border city, Medvedev is seen attending to Russian troops who are injured.
He said that Russia had the ability to finish the conflict by inflicting shock and awe on important cities, but “we didn’t go for that option.”
This military war might have been over far sooner, he claimed. But the effects on Ukraine would have been very different.
Its authority, decision-making centers, and infrastructure would all be entirely annihilated.
The influential security council of Russia is currently led by Medvedev’s deputy.
He said that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was “forced.”
The hardliner further accused Kyiv officials of ‘persecuting its own people’ in the Donetsk and Luhansk areas by failing to acknowledge geopolitical realities.
