OK, a clearer picture of what is going on with Strelkov now.

Vladimir Kononov appointed new DNR Defense Minister.
Strelkov named Chief of Staff

Differing reports say Strelkov is either in Crimea at this moment (meeting with Putin?), or he is near “Snow” directing an attack.

Marinovka is confirmed to now be in rebel control again. If they can hold it, another "Southern Pocket" of cut-off Ukrainian units has begun.
