Strelkov: "Advance of Novorossiya troops was stopped. We have huge losses. Our fight is hopeless. No troops to encircle Debaltsevo"

Strelkov: "Junta increases flow of weapons, training more troops while militia has no officers. Avdeevka and Pisky are too strengthened

Strelkov: "Novorossiya is great idea, but DPR and LPR are banana republics. Their leaders are junta."
