Russia once again unilaterally moved a humanitarian convoy of half-empty trucks across the Ukrainian border on June 23 morning, the Ukrainian State Border Service reported.
“The passage of the so-called humanitarian convoy involved gross violations of international and national law and modalities agreed upon with the International Committee of the Red Cross. Therefore, the Ukrainian interagency group confined itself only to a visual inspection, without performing controlling functions,” it said.
A convoy of 45 vehicles passed through the Donetsk border checkpoint in Russia’s Rostov region into Ukraine on June 23 morning, the Ukrainian border service said. “It was determined through the vehicles’ visual inspection that the trucks were presumably transporting food products, medicines, and construction materials and were heading for Luhansk. As usual, the vehicles were moving half-empty,” it said.
