About 20 brigades and regiments of the Russian army are being thrown against Ukraine in Donbas. So writes the journalist network site: The Forgotten Regiment(zpolk.org):

“The most difficult thing for the relatives of the dead is to find and bring home [the dead] to bury their bodies. Nobody usually knows where the military unit that their son, husband, or brother serves in can be redeployed.”

Therefore, we publish this information about which troops have been moved into areas of active combat in Ukraine. We hope that this will become a reference point for family members who are worried about the fate of their relatives serving in the military.

This information, for obvious reasons, cannot be absolutely 100% accurate. But it is confirmed by fragmentary statements coming from the [Russian Federation] Ministry of Defense and journalist publications.
