The 519th Separate Reconnaissance Ship Division of the Black Sea Fleet (not a missile boat division, despite similarity in the general registry of formations) is based in Sevastopol. According to the InformNapalm community, the division participated in the operation to seize Crimea in 2014; as evidence, photographs of serviceman Konstantin Kashcheev with the medal 'For the Return of Crimea', published on the 'VKontakte' social network, were cited. The division was not present in the list of units involved in the seizure of Crimea, published by the Ukrainian military prosecutor's office, at the time of publication.
