Former Minister of defense of the Donetsk national Republic Igor Strelkov will form the army of Novorossiya. This was announced at a briefing in Donetsk by Alexander Zakharchenko the Prime Minister of DNR.

"Igor Ivanovich (Strelkov) have done much to create the army of the Donetsk national Republic. He laid the foundation for the formation of the army in the Russian sample, the sample of the RF. Because this sample is most clear for us in terms of mentality, in terms of the rich history of joint warfare that led our ancestors for centuries. We understand the relationship between commander and subordinate," Zakharchenko said.

According to him, now a similar task will be assigned Strelkova at the level of the Union state DNR and LNR - Novorossia. "Because it is my task here (DNR) has done, he moved on to another job. We have such an education as the new Russia, which is also necessary military personnel, coordination of staff between Donetsk national Republic and Lugansk national Republic," Zakharchenko said.

Zakharchenko refused to say, where is now the Strelkov, but made clear that "this may be not the territory of Novorossia". "People fought for three months, has the right to leave," said Zakharchenko.
