Russian Aid Convoy Crosses into Ukraine

HeadlineAug 22, 2014

A Russian aid convoy has begun crossing into eastern Ukraine and heading toward the besieged city of Luhansk. While at least one part of the convoy had cleared customs, the trucks appear to have departed without authorization from Ukraine. The convoy has been held up at the border for more than a week undergoing inspections. Ukraine has accused Russia of using it as cover to mount a military incursion, while Russia says the trucks carry humanitarian aid for residents in dire need.
