Russian aid convoy waits near Ukraine

Regardless of which side is telling the truth (if either), there is a good chance of this becoming full-scale war. If war occurs it would be ironic if this occurred before November 1918. Three wars/slaughters in less than a century for "liberal" and "progressive" Europe would be irony.

Freeze!

They ain't gonna move one inch. Turn around and go back..

Let the Red Cross handle it. The world wants to know what's inside.

Poroshenko, the billionaire oligarch who took over Ukraine is stalling because he doesn't want the civilians to receive any aid.

.

Absolutely not true. The world just does not trust Russian's move.

If we leave a tiny hole in wall of water dam, eventually it gets bigger and breaks and collapse. The same thinking is applicable to this case.

If we give one inch to Putin, he will come back and push back for a yard. This man should not be trusted, period.

The oldest trick in the world! Instead of horse, it is a bear. "Beware the Russian bear in the west side of its yard." Lech Walesa (2005). How and why does Russia have the resources to "save" a small minority when tragedies are occurring in Africa? The Ukraine needs to unload and inspect every box on every truck. Putin has one goal, and unless the EU (not the USA) stands up to him, the EU can expect to have him knocking at all the eastern borders to "protect" the Russian emigrants.

Perhaps, you confused Russians to some poor black guy who stops in the middle of the street while listening an order "freeze!" from a white policeman. You need to realize that Russians decided to help Russian-speaking population in Eastern Ukraine and NOBODY can stop them. Even in case of military invasion.

Not confused at all. Under this circumstances, the Russian needs to use a non military means of transportation for goods. .
