Ukraine is drowning in "black waters". The information saying that American mercenaries fight on the territory controlled by the People's Republic of Donetsk found a confirmation. It was not Russian, but German journalists, who exposed the news, even though the new Kiev authorities blame Russia for all of its problems.
Bild am Sonntag wrote that private military unit Academi (formerly known as Blackwater) took part in battles in Ukraine. Of course, the company works on the side of the Kiev government. Residents of Donbass have been trying to prove that for more than a month already. According to the publication, the information was obtained after April 29, when Chancellor Angela Merkel discussed the issue with the chiefs of German secret services. The situation will not change drastically, but at least it started to change and move forward. Such a move from German media is beneficial for Russia.

"It is definitely beneficial to both Russia and, to a certain extent, to Europe. Germany, Angela Merkel and her government demonstrate independence of their position on Ukraine from the U.S. through the media. For Russia, the news is a confirmation that the U.S. is directly involved in the conflict."
