So, do you think it was...

a) intra-rebel score settling
b) a Ukrainian operation
c) a love letter from Moscow?

Option A is by far the most likely.

I wouldn't be surprised if options A and C were both in play.

Zakharchenko always followed Kremlin orders I see no reason why they would remove him and unlike Plotnitsky he seemed to be quite popular in Donetsk.

I expect his underlings are happy to have a chance to move up the ladder in the organizational chart, regardless of whether they had anything to do with it.

I doubt Putin really cares about Zakharchenko being "popular" or not. It's possible he saw his usefulness as over.
