Inexplicably, since the International Committee of the Red Cross has already said it doesn't expect to even begin inspections of the trucks' contents today -- which is essential to any ICRC mission -- a contingent of 16 trucks from Russia's "humanitarian" convoy has reportedly "arrived at Russia's Donetsk border checkpoint," according to an ITAR-TASS correspondent and multiple reports and tweets from international journalists following the convoy's movements.
The ITAR-TASS report claims that "Before the [16] trucks left for the border, ICRC representatives inspected randomly [sic] the trucks."
These were not official ICRC inspections, it is clear, so the ITAR-TASS report is misleading in that respect.
The ICRC said earlier today in Moscow that its people were "not yet inspecting the contents but are just looking at the convoy."
There is also this from Ukraine's Security and Defense Council:
A Ukrinform report alleges a major column -- including 120 Russian transporters, 30 tanks -- "came from the Russian border" and was spotted near Dubrovka, Ukraine. It reportedly took 40 minutes for the column to pass. There's related video at the bottom.
Reuters is quoting a Ukrainian military spokesman as saying new military equipment was seen entering Ukraine from Russia, including three Grad multiple-launch missile systems.
Here's the related message from the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council:
In case you missed it, from BBC:
The new rebel leader in east Ukraine's Donetsk region has said his forces include 1,200 fighters who underwent military training in Russia.
Addressing a meeting, Alexander Zakharchenko said the fighters had trained "four months on the territory of the Russian Federation".
The rebels, he said, had reserves of 150 combat vehicles, including tanks.
An earlier mistranslation of his words suggested Mr Zakharchenko had said the vehicles were on their way from Russia.
Russia has denied claims by Ukraine and Western reporters that military aid to the rebels has been crossing the border.
