The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine has reported that 145 trucks carrying Russian humanitarian aid have already crossed a state border into Ukraine.
“145 trucks already crossed the border,” a service’s spokesman said.
According to the reports, Ukrainian state border guards and customs officers aren’t being allowed to take part in the clearance of this cargo.
In general Russia prepared 262 trucks with a humanitarian aid for Ukraine, a column of which on Aug. 22 started to move into Ukraine without relative agreement of Kyiv and without accompaniment of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Earlier Chief of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Valentyn Nalyvaichenko said that the movement of Russian humanitarian cargo was a direct incursion of Russia into Ukraine.
“We call that a direct incursion. Under the cynical cover of the Red Cross these are military vehicles with cover documents,” he told reporters in Kyiv on Aug. 22.
