Russian convoy not humanitarian, this is intervention in Ukraine - Poroshenko

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said that the latest Russian aid convoy is not humanitarian, but, in fact, this is an intervention in Ukraine's territory

"The Russia convoy is not humanitarian. We consider this as an intervention in Ukraine's territory, and this is part of the actions that we have to stop," he said while introducing the Strategy 2020 program in Kyiv on Thursday.

Poroshenko said that white trucks brought "command equipment to Luhansk" through that section of the border that is not controlled by the Ukrainian side.

He added that the Ukrainian side had demonstrated since the very beginning its readiness to cooperate in the provision of Russian humanitarian aid, but Russia refused to cooperate in this field not only with Ukraine, but also with the International Committee of the Red Cross.
