Ukraine crisis: Russia aid convoy 'invades Ukraine'

"Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko has accused Russia of a "flagrant violation of international law" after Russian humanitarian aid lorries entered Ukraine without permission.

More than 100 Russian lorries had entered on Friday without any customs clearance or Red Cross escort, he said.

Reports say the first trucks have reached the rebel-held city of Luhansk in the eastern war zone.

Russia accused Ukraine of unreasonable obstruction and sent the convoy in.

Ukraine's security chief Valentyn Nalyvaychenko said it was a "direct invasion" but no force would be used against the convoy as it wished to avoid "provocations".

Reports suggest the lorries are being escorted by rebel fighters.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it was not part of the convoy "in any way".

Russia's foreign ministry has warned Ukraine not to take any action against the convoy, without specifying the consequences."

Hard hat time boys! World war 3 incoming!

One step at a time. Let's sort this bloody striker out first, before we start worrying about world war 3.

It's alright, the LMA have declared that it is just neighbourly banter.

Ok they should of waited and let nearly 1/2 million displaced UKRAINIAN people suffer , the trucks have waited over a week now and have been searched . What the f--k has the Ukrainian government done to help their own people ? By the way if you haven't noticed thousands of Ukrainian men , women and children have now been killed by attacks on the Donetsk region by government forces but you won't see that on British news .

Yes, the reporting has been hopelessly one sided. Putin might be a war criminal but the Kiev government - the guys we back - seems to have no scruples bombing and starving civilians.

Just heard from someone I know in Dnepropetrovsk that the President wants martial law now . Sad situation . Many people want to move from Dnepropetrovsk , they don't know where to , just that they are frightened . These are people who were pro Kiev and are not so happy with them now .
 


Saw an amazing UNHCR stat that about 700,000 Ukrainians have fled to Russia in the past few months. They ain't going there cos they love Putin...they are running for their lives.

This is ethnic cleansing, pure and simple, backed to the hilt by the west. Same as in Palestine/Israel 1948, when ethnic cleansing through terrorism methods is done by people our leaders support, the UK press will say nothing. Disgraceful.

Lol, because Russia cares about those people. Have you even seen pictures of the 'aid' trucks? F#@! all in them.

No one's denying that Ukraine has bombed the Donestk region. However, it's disputed as to where a lot of these rockets are being fired from, an alarming amount of evidence suggesting GRADs being fired from Russia into Ukraine. Now it's being made known that Russian forces are in operation within the region.

Grozny '94 is all I have to say, if you ignore the main reason why Russians got slaughtered in that siege, then you're playing blind and/or relying on RT too much.

Ukraine accuses Russia of deploying troops in the country's east, while Nato says Russia has stepped up its arms supply to separatists.

London Irish, Czechmate,..... all we need is DaveinPrague to join in blaming the West for everything from a shortage of condoms in Bangladesh, to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa,.... and of course, EVERY military conflict or mass murder that has taken place since 1948.

Yes, but if the Guardian readership say its not so,... its not so.

Aye, the evil Kiev institutions are preventing Comrade, Neo-Fascst/Tsarist Aleksandr Dugin from fulfilling his dream of a Russian Empire. Unfortunately, the majority of those in the Moscow administration haven't updated their atlases since 1975.

If that doesn't work, why not try arguing that all those Ukrainians being slaughtered by Kiev's missles are just Putin's human shields. People have an amazing capacity to swallow stuff like that, give it a go

Looks like you have been watching too much CNN , FOX or BBC , by the way I do watch RT as well as BBC and also Al Jazeer and French 24 to get an average view of what is happening . Why would the Russians bomb there own Russian speaking , pro Russian Ukrainian civilians ? I don't think even Putin is so stupid . F--k all in the trucks ?? , did you see them unloading the parcels in Donetsk area , probably not because it was not on BBC ? the people were so thankful just for some food and water , pity the Kiev government are not so concerned .

I know a few people in Dnepropetrovsk who I met at the Euro's who I have heard from recently and they were pro Kiev to start with but are now turning against them , so if you hear it from the horses mouth I think this is better than any news channel , don't you agree ?

I am not talking about Grozny I am talking about Ukraine , just stay on the appropriate subject .
