Kiev decides to tame eastern Ukraine by foreign mercenaries
World March 25, 15:43
Turchynov believes that law enforcement agencies in eastern regions cannot settle the
issue of pro-Russian movement themselves, the source says




DNEPROPETROVSK, March 25. /ITAR-TASS/. Ukrainian authorities plan to attract US
private military company Greystone Limited to suppress protest moods of the mostly
Russian-speaking population in the east of the country.


According to Ukrainian Security Service, mercenaries will be engaged in political search and
protection of state security over inability of Ukrainian law enforcement agencies to curb on
leaders and activists of pro-Russian movement independently. This initiative was put forward
by oligarchs Ihor Kolomoyskyi, a co-owner of Ukraine’s PrivatBank, and Serhiy Taruta, head
of the industrial union of Donbass, a coal basin in eastern Ukraine, as these business
tycoons were appointed as governors in central Ukraine’s Dnepropetrovsk region and eastern
Ukraine’s Donetsk region, respectively. A source in Ukrainian Security Service which
participated in recent special meeting chaired by parliament-appointed interim President
Oleksandr Turchynov reported about this fact.

“Turchynov believes that law enforcement agencies in eastern regions cannot settle the
issue of pro-Russian movement themselves, so they decided to attract foreign mercenaries,”
the security official said.
“In debates over action plan Kolomoyskyi proposed “not to re-invent
a bicycle”, because there are real people who have a clear idea how much and how to pay,”
he said.

Greystone security service is registered on Caribbean islands Barbados. The company
recruits people from different countries through its subsidiary Satelles Solutions Inc. The
company promises to its clients to provide “best military from the whole world” to fulfill tasks
in any part of the world up to large-scale operations.

Private military company Greystone Limited was established 47 years ago and has British
roots, as veterans of British commandoes SAS registered a basic organization of
mercenaries in 1967. The company was called WatchGuard International and drew attention
to itself after an abortive first large-scale operation — an attempt on the life of Libyan leader
Muammar Gaddafi in 1971. Then the organization has undertaken the second operation
already with retired US commandoes Navy SEALs during the US war in Iraq in 2003-2011,
when major corporations used actively Greystone services. Now Greystone Limited is one of
branches of a big mercenary empire in the United States which changes its names
constantly, as this was Blackwater until 2009, then Xe Services and Academi and now US
Training Center. Murders, shootings of demonstrations, arms smuggling entailed ill fame
through all flashpoints in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Now Ukraine is next in line.
But
today there is no exact information about the volume of the market of private military services,
as it is estimated only approximately at $200 billion annually. US high-ranking officials have
always occupied key posts in the empire of soldiers of fortune — from the US State
Department Bureau of Counterterrorism, the Central Intelligence Agency’s Counterterrorism
Center and US intelligence services.

That's because 60 - 70% of Ukrainian soldiers have already eagerly traded in their passports for Russian ones.

The 40% of the Ukranian military that have retained their Ukrainian passports, have absolutely no intentions of arming the neo nazi anti-Semitic thugs roving the streets. Instead the oligarchs in the east, ...the very same ones the West promoted agitation against, are hiring their own private armies. Some of the same ones who were firing shots and committing sniper attacks on everyone ... citizens, police alike during the initial uprising.

So....this could be the first major shooting war involving a Western PMC and a sovereign nation. This is fucking huge in the development of the PMC's. They've always either conducted small ops or done their thing with NATO or the US backing them.
