[Regnum] Five Russian marine brigades will be transformed into divisions in the near future, and two of them — already in 2025. This was announced on Sunday, July 27, by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a video conference address to participants in the July Storm operational exercises.
The head of state noted that the Russian authorities will continue to improve the level of combat training of the crews of surface and submarine ships, as well as coastal and aviation units, equipping them with the most modern equipment and weapons.
"In addition, five marine brigades will be transformed into divisions in the near future. Two of them will be transformed this year. As a result, the combat power and combat capabilities of the fleet will increase qualitatively," he added.
At the end of March, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief noted that divisions would gradually be created from the marine brigades, and five such divisions should be created by 2027. He emphasized that this is a major undertaking, which will be primarily related to the organization of combat training.
Earlier on July 27, Putin arrived at the Admiralty in St. Petersburg, where he was met by Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy Admiral Alexander Moiseyev, and the head of the Belarusian Defense Ministry Viktor Khrenin. Before this, the head of state's press secretary Dmitry Peskov announced that Putin would take part in naval exercises timed to coincide with Navy Day.
On the morning of July 27, the head of state congratulated Russian sailors on Navy Day. The Russian leader noted that the navy today plays a vital role in ensuring Russia's defense and security, and in protecting its legitimate interests in the World Ocean.
