Greystone Denies Its Mercenaries Are Deployed in Ukraine
April 13th, 2014
The Russian and U.S. regimes both lie so much that it’s very difficult to know what’s happening here.
Via: ABC News:
The Russian government today claimed there are more than 100 American “mercenaries� from a defense contracting company disguised as Ukrainian troops in the embattled former Soviet nation, a claim the American firm and top U.S. officials deny.
The Russian Foreign Ministry made the allegation in a statement today that accused Ukrainian military forces of working with “illegal armed militias� and others, saying the ministry is “especially concerned� about the involvement of 150 American mercenaries from the private company Greystone Ltd., a former affiliate of Blackwater.
A woman who answered a call for comment from ABC News today at Greystone denied that the company was involved, saying, “We do not have anyone deployed in Ukraine.� Later, the company told other news outlets they had no comment on the Russian allegations.
White House spokesperson Jay Carney told reporters the claim “seems bogus to us� and Geoffrey Pyatt, U.S. Ambassador to Russia, called it “rubbish.�
