Russian escalation: diverted humanitarian aid semi-trucks to supply rebels

The latest row revolves around aid going from Russia to Ukraine. Kiev had stalled trucks on the Russian side of the border for days, before acknowledging Sunday that the convoy, in fact, had humanitarian aid.
quote:
All the vehicles were supposed to be monitored by members of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
But Russia ended up diverting at least 34 such trucks despite the fact the Red Cross wasn't accompanying them due to the "volatile security situation" -- a reference to continued fighting between pro-Russian rebels and Ukrainian forces.
quote:
Right now, Ukraine isn't planning to go after the convoy. Still, Nalyvaychenko thinks its main purpose is to supply rebels and its drivers are not even civilians.

The escalation continues little by little...

Not me. Ukraine should blow that convoy to hades. I hope that we are shipping them weapons, and lots of them.

Not surprised. ... This thing is growing little by little ... Russia will have claimed part of Ukraine by the time we get involved. .........
