Russia is deploying new military units to the northern part of occupied Crimea, Andrii Cherniak, a representative of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate, Qazet.az reports according to a report on The Kyiv Independent website.

Russia is also reportedly fortifying the area and parts of Kherson Oblast, the report adds.
