Ukraine Border Guards Begins Inspection On Controversial Russian Aid Convoy AIT
Ukraine says its border guards have began inspecting a controversial Russian aid convoy parked at the frontier.
Ukraine Border Guards Begins Inspection On Controversial Russian Aid Convoy
Ukrainian officials said the cargo, bound for cities in eastern Ukraine held by Pro-Russian rebels, was being checked.
Ukraine fears the convoy may carry military supplies for the rebels, an accusation Russia has rejected. On Thursday, reports said Russian army vehicles were seen heading into Ukraine, into rebel-held territory. Ukrainian security officials said that they had spotted a column of Armoured personnel carriers and military lorries crossing into Ukraine.
Russia's government has consistently denied directly arming or training the rebels, who sparked the conflict in April when they took control of several cities in eastern Ukraine. The conflict, which has claimed more than 2,000 lives, has intensified in recent weeks.
On Thursday, there was heavy shelling in the rebel stronghold cities of Donetsk and Luhansk.
