ITAR-TASS, Russia’s state-owned news
agency, claims the junta in Kyiv has hired a Blackwater spin-off to act
as political police force in the eastern part of the country.
The Voice of Russia reported on Tuesday:
Ukrainian
authorities believe that the Security Service is not able to suppress
the protest mood and neutralize the leaders and activists of the
pro-Russian movement in the eastern regions. In particular, the source
said, the acting president Alexander Turchinov shares this opinion.
“Therefore it was decided to attract foreign mercenaries, who will serve
as political police and state security protection, ” said the
representative of the Security Service.
On March 10, Infowars.com reported the
presence of corporate mercenaries in Donetsk, an industrial city in
eastern Ukraine on the Kalmius River. A video posted on Youtube showed men with weapons and body armor
on a street where a pro-Russian demonstration was held. A Russian
diplomat told Interfax 300 employees of Blackwater, now known as
Academi, had arrived in the pro-Russian city.
The mercenaries in Donetsk “are soldiers
of fortune proficient in combat operations,” the diplomatic source told
Interfax, according to the Daily Mail.
“Most of them had operated under private contracts in Iraq, Afghanistan
and other states. Most of them come from the United States.”
