The United States and European nations say they have no intention of recognizing the ad hoc vote, no matter the results, calling it illegal and likely only to worsen the lethal violence in Ukraine’s east.
DONETSK, Ukraine — A steady stream of voters turned out at some polling stations Sunday for snap elections intended to legitimize two self-declared new countries in eastern Ukraine, a showing that will aid the secessionist cause.
The turnout in the capital was no guarantee people in towns elsewhere would also show support for the separatists, and even in Donetsk many who favored Ukrainian unity said they would stay home rather than vote.
Because they are hired by the US government? They don't go to Ukraine just because they like being there... They got a mission/job there.

Do you have proof that they were hired by the US to actively participate in Ukraine, also there are reports that Russia has hired it's own Russian version of Blackwater.

So the only source of this information comes from Russia, so one has to wonder how credible this really is.
Also this from Academi(formerly Blackwater) concerning this report...
