Strelkov has resigned his position as Defense Minister
The Saker ■ Very Bad News: Vzgliad is reporting that Igor Strelkov has resigned his position as Defense Minister. If confirmed - Vzgliad is usually well-informed - this is very bad news. Not that Novorussia lacks capable military leaders, but because Strelkov had managed to subordinate all the commanders of the Resistance - except Khodakovski - to is authority. As Strelkov mentioned it many times, it is very hard to turn several groups of volunteer guerrillas into a real army, and Strelkov pretty much succeeded in doing so. If his resignation is confirmed, I am very worried that infighting between the various rebel groups will resume and that the junta will use this political chaos to attack and beat back the Resistance.
