Russian authorities say they have received information their much-discussed aid convoy will be attacked by one of Kiev's fascistic "Volunteer battalions." They also report that these far right militiamen have mined the road aid trucks will be taking.
Trucks from a Russian humanitarian convoy arrive to park on a field outside the town of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky in the Rostov region, some 30kms from the Russian-Ukrainian border, Russia, on August 14, 2014.
Aid convoy to Ukraine faces disruption, may be attacked - Russia.
Moscow has information that the convoy delivering humanitarian aid to eastern Ukraine may be attacked by Kievs forces, with the punitive Aidar Battalion planning to mine the road that the vehicles will use, the Russian Foreign Ministry says.
On Friday, Moscow accused Ukraine of attempting to disrupt the humanitarian aid convoy now that the preparations for its delivery have reached their final stages and all key issues have been agreed upon. We draw attention to the sharp intensification of military actions by Ukrainian forces with the obvious goal to block the route, agreed upon with Kiev, of the humanitarian convoy from the Russia-Ukraine border to Lugansk, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Those nurturing such criminal plans are taking huge responsibility for their consequences, the ministry said.
