Hm... Putin (och Kiev?) utnyttjar ett oklart läge!? Samtidigt blir civila lidande pga av detta spel. Varför organiserar inte Kiev själva mha Röda Korset en egen hjälpsändning? Då hade man sluppit spekulationer om att Putin använder hjälpsändning för att förtäckt föra in vapen och trupp.https://twitter.com/willripleyCNN/status/499081768184840192
Känns ju ganska instabilt detta, varför inte samordna det med Röda Korset om man vill skicka hjälp, vad är Putins problem?

Kiev säger nu att de inte kommer släppa in konvojen eftersom ICRC inte certifierat den. Kiev kräver att förnödenheterna omlastas (!) på gränsen av Röda Korset till andra fordon. Moskva säger samtidigt att allt sker med Ukrainas godkännande.
A Ukrainian security spokesman has said that a humanitarian convoy being dispatched to eastern Ukraine by Russia will not be admitted into the country.
Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, said the convoy had not been certified by the International Committee of the Red Cross.
A convoy of 280 Russian trucks headed for Ukraine early on Tuesday, one day after agreement was reached on an international humanitarian relief mission.
But the Red Cross, which was due to coordinate the operation, said it had no information on what the trucks were carrying or where they were going. That has raised fears in Ukraine and the west, where leaders have voiced concerns that Russia could use the initiative as a pretext for sending troops into separatist-held territory.
An aide to the Ukrainian president, Petro Poroshenko, said Kiev would require the aid to be reloaded onto other transport vehicles at the border by the Red Cross if it was to enter. "We will not allow any escort by the emergencies ministry of Russia or by the military. Everything will be under the control of the Ukrainian side," the aide, Valery Chaly, said.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Itar Tass news agency had said the convoy departed from near Moscow, meaning it would take it a couple of days to arrive in east Ukraine, about 620 miles (1,000km) to the south-west. "It has all been agreed with Ukraine," Business FM radio quoted President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, as saying.
