The military leader of pro-Russian rebels in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk, Igor Girkin - known as Strelkov - has resigned.
Alexander Borodai, the former PM of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, confirmed the news but denied reports Mr Strelkov had been wounded.

Still playing catch-up.
Not much on rebel tweets/sites about Strelkov, yet.
But a lot on the convoy.
UK Gardian’s Shawn Walker:
Column of twenty APC’s 10km from border, heading toward Izvarino.
The escort?
UK Gaurdian’s Shawn Walker notes that he is getting trolled by Kiev trolls. They don’t like his descriptions of the convoy, and are calling him an “FSB Agent”.
Gee, that sounds awfully familiar....
Shawn Walker:
-Two helicopters (Mi-8) accompanying the convoy, flying extremely low. Now sitting in the fields alongside
-Saw one car with diplo plates, Red Cross insignia at convoy site. Two foreign ICRC officials inside. Refused to speak
Soros.
The damage has been done. Europe’s economy is tumbling. Ukraine’s currency is in shambles, at a point that the IMF will not be able to bail it out without putting its other member economies at risk. Russia got the Crimea for low cost to itself. Russia does NOT want Ukraine right now as it will damage the rest of the Customs Union. And, Russia can come back for the rest of Ukraine when it suits itself.
Another brawl in the Ukraine Parliament today.
The NAZI Lyashko got almost knocked out by another MP!
This is worth seeing, folks!

Start at about 2:00. Lyashko Definitely gets his bell rung!!
NOW I know why Lyashko got punched out.
He called out Kolomoisky, wants him arrested for looting Ukraine while it is at war, and got punched out by one of Kolomoisky’s owned MP’s!
Several Tweets that Lyashko’s Nazi’s (Adair) are marching on Kiev to “Save” the Maidan. Sounds like he is about to “Cross the Rubicon”.
(Several reports on twitter that Kolomoisky’s “Donbas” mercenary militia left Lyasko’s Nazi’s hung out to dry, and butchered, when they ran away in a fight a couple of days ago.
Gotta love how the coup is shaking out....
Marinovka Border checkpoint again under rebel control.
I saw that one earlier.
If Lyashko tries to launch a coup in Kiev, things could get really messy, really FAST....
And frankly, I wouldn’t put it past him to do it.
LOL
Much better video, from another angle, of Little Himmler/Lyashko getting punched out.
Shawn Walker:
To clarify. APC column separate to humanitarian convoy, which has halted. Is moving very close to border. But not size of proper invasion force.
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.
The blood of that cat is on Strelkov’s hands. But he’s absconded . . . .
On its face, it appears that the "coup" is shaking-out better than the rebellion against it . . . .
As much as we appreciate your Twitter updates, could you source them? The way it appears now, you just make them up yourself.
