In the first weeks of January 2022, video footage emerged of military equipment moving westward by rail all throughout the Eastern Military District (MD) in Russia’s far east. The footage serves in stark contrast to previous video of Russian military movement, which most commonly was filmed in the western and central parts of Russia towards the end of 2021. This newly uncovered movement came in the leadup to — and during — diplomatic talks in Geneva between the US and Russia meant to alleviate tensions over Ukraine.
