Trucks marked as being from a bitterly disputed Russian aid convoy to Ukraine began returning to Russia on Saturday. An Associated Press reporter counted 67 trucks entering the border crossing in the Russian city of Donetsk before noon Saturday. Another AP reporter on the Ukrainian side of the border said a line of trucks about 3 kilometers (2 miles) long was waiting to cross. The checkpoint on the Ukrainian side was being operated by separatist rebels, who inspected the trucks.

Your thoughts are irrelevant in the face of facts.
You wouldn't know facts if they came up to you and said, HEY WE ARE FACTS
You just go ahead and parrot whatever US Elite want
Your TIME magazine subscription is waiting
You're making stuff up now, Kiev never once accepted to let Russian convoys enter Ukraine and nor do you know there are any weapons on board
The ICRC has taken all necessary administrative and preparatory steps for the passage of the Russian convoy – which remains at the border, still within Russia, pending customs checks – including sending additional staff to the area and receiving authorization from the Ukrainian authorities to clear the aid as humanitarian cargo after customs inspections. The organization is therefore ready to deliver the aid to Lugansk, provided both Russia and Ukraine agree on the strictly humanitarian nature of this convoy and provided assurances of safe passage are respected by the fighting parties. Under international humanitarian law, the parties to the conflict must respect and protect humanitarian relief personnel, in particular those legally displaying the red cross emblem.

Helps to go to the source for your info.
Now Ukraine has agreed but it has stipulations the Russians didn't want because they seem to have something they don't want to be seen or they would have done as asked.
Sorry but the facts don't lie.
I already sourced it for them. I even baited them. I knew they would scream Western Propaganda (as multiple have), so my source (which they did not even look at) was RT.com.
Latest vid on the invasion of Russian potatoes lol
Who is them ? a reply to: tsurfer2000h
only Russia knows the content to what was in all the trucks because they refused to let them be checked before crossing the border.
Who is them ?
According to the independent Organisation for Security and Co-operation (OSCE) observer mission, a total of 134 trucks, of which 34 have been inspected, had crossed over the border by 14:20 local time (11.20 GMT).
Well it could be that they were slack in what they were doing and were actually delaying much needed aid .
But I haven't seen a list of the drivers of the trucks and don't know if their pass ports are up to date ,so there may be a violation of some international law .
All I know is that some aid is getting to some people who are desperate to get it .
No one mentions the simple truth that the last thing Kiev wants is for aid to get through.
As for the stalled Russian aid convoy, Ukrainian officials have insisted that it would not be allowed to enter its territory until it had been inspected by an international organization.
Russia has said that it has been working with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to facilitate the delivery of the aid, which the residents of Luhansk, who have been without water and electricity for almost a fortnight, desperately need.
However, an ICRC spokesperson said on Thursday, that talks with Russian officials were continuing, but that much still had to be cleared up before it could be involved in an operation to facilitate the distribution of the Russian aid.
"The plans keep changing, the discussions are going ahead and we will not confirm for sure until we know an agreement has been reached," spokesperson Anastasia Isyuk said from the ICRC's headquarters in Geneva.
God help any country when the USA starts spreading peace and love in their neighbourhood. I once said before...America has become the cop thet kneels on your back, screaming calm down sir. Whilst at the same time not only robbing you of your freedom but rifling your pockets and fitting you up.
It's such a shame we have all those crossing our borders to get what they can't have in their countries...freedom and the ability to enjoy that freedom...it's such a damn shame I tell you.
And feel free to show what freedoms are being taken away from the people of the US.
