Russian convoy approaches Ukrainian Border
A Russian convoy of 280 military trucks carrying 2,000
tonnes of water, food and other humanitarian aid is making its way
towards the Ukrainian Boarder. Kiev reiterated that the convoy could not cross
the border until Ukrainian authorities had cleared its cargo.
The humanitarian aid will be delivered to the Luhansk region
in eastern Ukraine, which is mostly held by Separatists Forces. Ukraine’s
government is sceptical over Russia’s intentions to provide humanitarian aid. Some
officials fear that this move could be disguising a Russian plan to invade
Eastern Ukraine.
Russian military vehicles supposedly in support of the aid
convoy have crossed the Ukrainian border. The aid convoy has remained at the
border. A convoy of 23 armoured personnel carriers, supported by fuel trucks
and other logistics vehicles crossed the border on Thursday night. Russia has
so far denied any military involvement with separatist rebels in Ukraine.
