Since the videos emerged, Twitter has beenalive with speculation that mercenaries linked to Blackwater, now known as Academi, are active in Ukraine, helping to prop up theembattled new pro-western government.

1 M7 d$ [% E7 h6 {- X; T7 H3 w: LAsked whether the soldiers seen in thevideos could be from Academi, Dr Nafeez Ahmed, a security expert with theInstitute for Policy Research & Development, said: ‘Difficult to say really.It's certainly not beyond the realm of possibility - Academi have been deployed in all sorts oftheatres.
( ~, D$ B4 U$ ~4 Y' ?'I think the question is whether theevidence available warrants at least reasonable speculation.

当问到视频中出现在那里的士兵是否来自Academi。政策研究与发展研究所的安全专家Nafeez Ahmed博士说，‘不好判断，这种可能性不能排除- Academi不可能部署在所有各类地区冲突里，我认为现有的证据不足以支持这种推测。
