"Those
organizations (private security companies) will do what NATO cannot do
openly. They can train people to be terrorists," Chossudovsky said,
adding that in Syria private contractors were training al-Qaeda.
"We
are talking about the continuation of US policy of military
intervention in Ukraine and a preparatory stage for a massacre in
southeastern Ukraine," Igor Korotchenko, editor-in-chief of the National
Defense monthly Russian-language magazine said, adding that the
deployment of mercenaries from a private company Greystone Ltd. may be
financed by Ukrainian oligarchs and organized in coordination with the
US State Department.
Michel Chossudovsky told RIA
Novosti that mercenaries are normally hired by governments, but options
are numerous as they operate covertly and do not identify themselves.
"Private
contractors could be hired by NATO, or by Ukrainian government or by an
intermediary. Anyone can hire Greystone, they operate covertly, they
don't identify themselves, and make money," Chossudovsky said.
"Considering
that Ukraine's security services show their obvious incompetence,
foreign mercenaries are supposed to suppress the protests in the
southeastern part of the country," Korotchenko said.
Michel
Chossudovsky expects Graystone to recruit Ukrainians for the operation
and reminded that the company recruits different nationalities, who are
trained by professional military personnel.
"Within the
Ukrainian National Guard there are western military advisors, they have
senior military people. They are supposed to train protective services,
but in fact they train terrorists," Chossudovsky said.
"NATO
and the US won't acknowledge the presence of these special forces. What
is happening is an influx of special forces in Ukraine which are there
with the purpose to sustain the current government, but also to sustain
the state of destabilization," Chossudovsky said stressing that
mercenaries would infiltrate with grassroots movements to trigger
violence across Ukraine.
Canadian expert also said that NATO advisors are already present in Ukraine and have been brought by Kiev authorities.
"We
have reports that there were mercenaries in Eastern Ukraine in early
March. Some of these mercenaries are used for sophisticated sniper
operations which characterize Euro Maidan," Chossudovsky said, adding
that the similar operations have been seen in other countries.
Greystone
Ltd. is a private company registered in Barbados that "provides the
skilled professionals and program management services necessary to
deliver rotary wing, protective security and training solutions."
It
used to be a subsidiary of Blackwater private security services
provider, and now operates as a separate entity but still has links to
it.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has earlier voiced
concerns over the buildup of Ukrainian forces in the southeastern part
of the country involving some 150 American mercenaries from a private
company Greystone Ltd., dressed in the uniform of the Ukrainian special
task police unit Sokol. Moscow called this move violation of Ukraine's
legislation.

'Kiev govt lost control of security forces in Eastern Ukraine'
RT: Activists in Kharkov are saying that policemen from other Ukrainian regions arrived in the city and they were the ones, who provoked the violence. What were they trying to achieve in your opinion?
Michel Chossudovsky: First of all the Kiev government has lost control of its security forces, its law enforcement in Eastern Ukraine. And this, they've realized several weeks back, because Ukraine's interim government confirmed they were hiring a private military company, named Greystone Ltd, a company that was founded by (former) British SAS in the heyday, but actually they're bringing in private mercenaries, which are now most probably integrating with the police forces, but they are also acting outside the realm of official law enforcement agencies.
