Aug. 14, 2014, 2:54 PM A column of Russian armored personnel carriers (APCs) has reportedly crossed Russia's border with Ukraine. The APCs had earlier been seen traveling alongside a supposed Russian humanitarian convoy headed towards Ukraine's conflict-torn east...

Most of the fleet of more than 262 vehicles within the humanitarian convoy, including about 200 trucks carrying aid, stopped 15 miles from the border of Ukraine's rebel-held eastern region of Luhansk. The convoy had been sent to go through a Ukrainian-held border crossing by the city of Kharkhiv, but it unexpectedly changed course and instead stopped by the separatist-held Izvaryne border crossing.

Excellent! Now let’s get back to the Soviet Union where the world was a much safer place from the satanic Islamists.

I predict another celebrity will die and America will never know that Russia just invaded Ukraine. Any bets? Kirk Douglas is due.

Russian military vehicles enter Ukraine as aid convoy stops short of border
Armoured personnel carriers and support vehicles cross the border, while the 280-truck convoy comes to a halt separately
Shaun Walker on the Russia-Ukraine border
The Guardian, Thursday 14 August 2014 15.38 EDT
The white trucks of humanitarian aid rumbled through Russia in a convoy stretching for miles,...But, while the trucks came to a halt well short of Ukraine's border, a different Russian convoy did make the crossing into Ukrainian territory late on Thursday evening. The Guardian saw a column of 23 armoured personnel carriers, supported by fuel trucks and other logistics vehicles with official Russian military plates, travelling towards the border near the Russian town of Donetsk – about 200km away from Donetsk, Ukraine.
