Ukraine to oppose unauthorized entry of Russian convoy in Donbas
Ukraine is making diplomatic efforts to prevent the Russian humanitarian convoy from entering Donbas without inspection by international observers and Red Cross, National Security and Defense Council spokesman Andry Lysenko said Aug. 14.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian army in a strongly worded statement said it will prevent the convoy from entering Ukraine.
We will consider it as an enemy attack if the Russians get into Ukraine by-passing Red Cross and international observers.
If this happens, the army will treat the convoy as an enemy force and will use its power to destroy it.
I guess we are finally shedding the stupid pretense that these are rebels instead of invaders now.
I don’t blame them. All Putin is doing is using them for “trip wires” if something goes wrong. It will be his excuse to invade the Ukraine.
They’re invading under the cover of darkness just like we said yesterday. If Putin and Russia are allowed to openly invade the Ukraine using the Red Cross as a Trojan Horse with impunity, then no nation in Europe is safe from Russian future aggressions.
Russia has never been subtle
Maybe that is why they are called the Russian bear, because bears are not subtle either.
Thanks WhiskeyX.
Ever think—that was the plan all along? They are in a hard place—stop the convoy—and face battle—Let the convoy in to re-enforce the rebels. Or maybe Putin has another plan up his sleeve. It looks like Ukraine has the next move—they better make it a good one or its checkmate.
