Hey guys, apparently some youtube videos have gone somewhat viral. They supposedly show Blackwater (Academi) mercenaries patrolling the streets of Donetsk. Apparently these videos also have audio of bystanders shouting Blackwater as the soldiers walk by. I can't find the videos but here is a link to an article that mentions them, with some stills from the video.
Edit: The article also has links to the videos in question it looks like.
It's worth noting that the article mentions that some news outlet, "Has it on good authority" that these troops are actually from a Russian private security firm with close ties to the Kremlin. Either way these soldiers appear to be carrying Russian equipment but otherwise have no identification of any kind. This seems to be spreading fast.
