Ok game changer or what?
My question is where did Ukraine get the money to pay for these guys? Speaks volume of the state that the Ukraine is internally.

I hope they're a little more cautious than they were in Iraq.

Well this seem to be an article from a Russian paper RIA Novosti so take it at value. Know your sources. I haven't heard much about any American Mercs from an Company, so likely a Kremlin IO campaign.

Blackwater?
We'll soon know if they're actually Blackwater merc's when they shoot into a crowd of unarmed civilians......... I don't think "elite" is the term I'd use when referring to them either.....

A little late maybe, but isn't the Ukraine West of the Caucasus Mountains? For accuracy's sake shouldn't this be in the European section?
