From our Brussels correspondence, regarding Ukraine's association agreement and its Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area:
Here's today's map of the military situation in eastern Ukraine, according to Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council:
AP is quoting SBU chief Nalivaychenko as saying the men driving the Russian trucks are actually Russian military servicemen trained to drive combat vehicles, and that the empty trucks will be used to take out the bodies of separatist fighters.
The first trucks from a convoy which Russia says is carrying humanitarian aid have entered eastern Ukraine after a week waiting for permission to cross the border. Moscow has accused the Ukrainian government of creating "artificial demands" to delay aid deliveries. The convoy is bound for the Luhansk region, where many residents have been without fresh water and regular power supplies.
