Russia aid convoy heading toward Ukraine
A Russian aid convoy destined for eastern Ukraine is back on track despite Kiev’s warning that it will not let the convoy enter its territory. ● On Thursday, the aid convoy resumed its travel towards Ukraine, taking the road leading south toward the city of Luhansk, which is in control of pro-Russian militias. The convoy of at least 280 vehicles had been parked at a military depot in southern Russia amid disagreement between Moscow and Kiev over how and where it would cross into Ukraine. Russia has agreed to deliver the aid to a Ukraine government-controlled crossing in Kharkiv region, where it could be inspected by the Red Cross.
