The Guardian's Moscow correspondent, Shaun Walker, and The Telegraph's Roland Oliphant tweeted today that a column of armored personnel carriers (ACPs) and other Russian military vehicles have crossed over the Ukrainian border.
Vladimir Putin's government is sending a convoy of unmarked white trucks to Ukraine, and military vehicles started traveling alongside a supposed Russian aid convoy earlier on Thursday.
Most of the fleet of more than 262 vehicles, including about 200 trucks carrying aid, stopped 15 miles from the border of Ukraine's rebel-held eastern region of Luhansk.
If these reports are correct, a separate military convoy has apparently continued into Ukraine.

35 minutes ago — they haven’t crossed in yet:
Raising the stakes in Ukraine’s conflict, a Russian aid convoy of more than 200 trucks pushed up to the border on Thursday but then stopped, provocatively poised to cross into rebel-held territory.
The Ukrainian government threatened to use all means available to block the convoy if the Red Cross was not allowed to inspect the cargo.
Such an inspection would ease concerns that Russia could use the aid shipment as cover for a military incursion in support of the separatists, who have come under growing pressure from government troops.
The United States has warned Russia that it needs to secure Ukraine’s permission for the convoy to enter.
What a silly headline, they’ve been doing this for months now.
Impossible. Putin said it was only relief supplies. Surely he wouldn’t lie.
Only God can help Ukraine now the Euro’s are utter wimps. The fields and streets are about to run with blood.
Russians are a curse upon the earth.
Most likely...
But this is DIFFERENT.
They are marked with Official Russian plates, and they didn’t care if Western Media saw it.
THAT marks a huge change.
