US pays $8 million a month to have its private armies deployed in Ukraine

According to reports from Donetsk, another group of US mercenaries has landed at the local airport, mercenaries that the ‘Maidan’-approved government in Kiev is going to use for a mop-up operation in the region.

Deputy Chief of People’s Self-Defence of Donbass, Sergei Tsyplakov, claims that 100 “soldiers of fortune” have arrived this time. Judging by US and UK press reports, the overall strength of the ground force that the Kiev-based government is going to send to the South-East of Ukraine makes up 1,800.

The US private military companies Blackwater and Greystone are the ones that are mentioned increasingly often. Blackwater is actually non-existent. It has changed its name several times and is now called Academi. It’s a biggest private army of the world. Blackwater is one of its subdivisions. 90 percent of orders of both companies come from the US Department of State, the Pentagon and even the White House. They can collect from 5,000 to 10,000 “soldiers of fortune” under their standards.
