List of military units in the 2014 Crimean crisis

The Russian federation has two types of troops. The ones that are located on the Crimean peninsula on the bases of the intergovernmental treaties and unknown soldiers, who do not carry military rank insignia or cockade as the official position of the ministry of the Russian federation is that Russia does not take part in the processes happening on the peninsula and the auxiliary troops do not belong to the Russian federation, but are based on the local initiatives. Some national signs have been traced on the basis of the Russian register plates having numbers "21" (Republick of Chuvashia) and "90" (Moscow region)
