A commander of the "storm battalion" nicknamed Vasilich got trapped into the ambush of the Ukrainian commandos near the town of Snezhnaya. He was a deputy of the combatants commander in Donetsk Igor Girkin (Strelkov, aka the Shooter). It has been reported that the automobile was shot from the ambush, the commander and two soldiers died. 

Meanwhile, the Shooter accused his another ally Oleksandr Mozhaev, nicknamed Babay, in deserting the colours. He left Kramatorsk with the "Crimean cossaks" back on July 5 and never arrived in Donetsk. Babay and his detachment is either at the Russian border now or has already crossed it.
