Ukraine's State Border Service reports arrival of new 'humanitarian convoy' from Russia to Donbas
A Russian "humanitarian convoy" consisting of 114 half-empty vehicles arrived in occupied territory in Donbas on Thursday morning, press secretary of the Ukrainian State Border Service Oleh Slobodian said.
"Two columns of the so-called 'humanitarian convoy' comprising 114 vehicles passed through the Russian checkpoints of Donetsk and Matveyev Kurgan [Rostov oblast, Russia] in the period from 06:38 a.m. to 07:30 in the morning. As Russia traditionally breached every existent international and Ukrainian norm, we exercised only visual control and did not perform controlling functions," Slobodian told Interfax-Ukraine.
The visual inspection of some trucks showed that they were carrying food, he said. "As per tradition, the trucks were only half full," Slobodian said.
