Strelkov is a well-known butcher, killer and a terrorist who was behind the occupation of Donbass. Putin hates him, but nobody can denied a fact: this guy knows more than anybody else about mercenaries in Syria and on the Ukraine. He knows it better than Putin, better than Minister of Defense of Russia, and course he knows it that some Sarn or any other idiot from the Internet. Once again: he has said that the US forces have killed from 200 to 600 Russian mercenaries in Syria (some of them were his close friends). I do believe in that he said.
