Seems that Russia finally had enough of Kiev trying to delay the convoy even more, and have pushed it through, anyway.

Twitter reports and photos show that about 70 trucks have already arrived in Lugansk, which means the city isn't completely surrounded, as Kiev has claimed.

Kiev also is claiming a convoy of Chechens and Dagestani's crossed after the trucks did.

This should make Monday's Poroshenko-Putin meeting even more interesting.

Red Cross Tweets:

—The Russian Aid Convoy is moving into Ukraine, but we are not escorting it due to the volatile security situation.

—We’ve not received sufficient security guarantees from the fighting parties. Our team in Lugansk reports heavy shelling overnight

Briefing at the UN right now, live presser.

BBC Notes:
The Russian foreign ministry has already sent a clear warning that if the convoy is attacked, Moscow may take action.

And you’re still cheerleading a Russian invasion.

Way to go, you’re such a swell guy.

idiot.

[KOZ.]

ah, so you’re saying Russia is sick of Ukraine defending it’s own borders?

Seriously, you think it’s a problem that Ukraine defends it’s own borders?

BTW, do you still think Russia is not invading? or are you done pushing that propoganda?

“Seems that Russia finally had enough of Kiev trying to delay the convoy even more, and have pushed it through, anyway.”

You should be condemned for pushing this false propaganda. Russia refused to respect international law and his committed a crime by deliberately withholding the customary information required for the ICRC (International Red Cross) and the Ukraine to conduct any actual Humanitarian Aid into the Ukraine without assisting Russia to use the convoy as a Trojan Horse introducing Russian combat forces to invade the Ukraine. Take you lies somewhere else, like the Kremlin.

NYTimes Andrew Roth followed the convoy as far as Krasnodon, then turned back for the border.

Tweet from Jonathon Ferro, Bloomberg News:

First Ukraine says they see Russian aid convoy as an invasion. Now they say they allowed it to avoid provocation. Can we rely on anything?
