Moscow District;
- new battle management (command) brigade - 42nd
- new territorial communications brigade - 119th
- new artillery division - 34th. Will include 273rd and 303rd artillery brigades
Leningrad District;
- new Army Corps - 44th
- new Motor Rifle Divisions - 68th, 69th and 72nd (motor rifle, tank and artillery regiments being formed)
Central District;
-new Motor Rifle Division - 27th (will include 433rd motor rifle regiment)
Also reported new separate special purpose radio engineering regiments (ortp OSP or Elint in Western terminology) being formed for the 6th, 2nd and 49th Combined Arms Armies (previously had only a battalion attached). Only the 58th and 5th Armies had regiments previously.
NOTE: a lot of the numbers posted to be expected as old Red Army unit numbers just being reactivated. Expect all the divisions are part of those 7 Motor Rifle brigades mentioned as being up-sized to Divisional strength.

franco wrote:Russian military districts are being transformed from strategic formations into departments. This follows from the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin , published on June 24 on the legal information portal .
“The draft decree provides for the deprivation of the military district of the status of an interspecific strategic territorial association, the reorganization of the joint strategic command of the military district into a department (of the military district),” the explanatory note says.
In addition, the decree provides for clarification of a number of tasks and functions of the military district as a strategic territorial association. It is noted that the draft decree was prepared due to changes in the organizational structure of the army.
Earlier, on February 26, Putin signed a decree on the re-establishment of the Leningrad and Moscow military districts (LVO and MVO). By the same decree, the head of state included the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), Lugansk People's Republic (LPR), as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions into the Southern Military District .
For the first time, former Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced the Ministry of Defense’s plans to create two new military districts at a meeting of the department’s board in December 2022. In turn, Putin explained in December 2023 that the Russian Federation is forced to recreate the LVO due to Finland’s accession to NATO.
NOTE: not sure of specifics however seems to be a major operational policy shift
