I'm still starting to read Russian and I still can't understand some words. Can you verify the claim that 3000 reinforcements just arrived which allowed them for the run to Zaporozhia (besides the local partizans of course)?
3,000 reinforcements? I am yet to see the link.
On the other hand, a few days ago there was a movement of some 1,200 Novorussian troops from Rostov to Donetsk. They were training with the Cossacks in Rostov for many months, and have now returned to Donetsk. All of them are Ukrainian citizens.
BTW... as of now, the Zaporozhye partisans number only a few hundred.
