Yeah, communication is the problem all along it seems. If you want a copy of official paper, I suggest you ask the official departments.
Here all we can do is going by what actions are actually taking. And honestly, why would Kiev set up a camp for the convoy but dismantling it today all of a sudden . Looks like the where expecting it and going to allow the aid, only to change mind again.

NATO sources have told me this morning that if Russia diverts the convoy to a border area controlled by the separatists then it will enter Ukraine whether Kiev likes it or not.

The downside to that is Kiev are making a lot of noise about such a scenario being an open attack from Russia.

I think he will make a huge media play of it showing all of the tons of food and supplies the people could have had and just take it back to Russia.

 Quoting: KipKat


Maybe.. there is confusion all along. But that confusion is so heavily stirred by everyone and even inside the organizations confusion seems to reign. Proper communication between them directly seems non existent. If it wasn't that sad, all the people suffering, it would be hilarious, a true farce.

Look how many meetings it took to finally sort of agree that there is a humanitarian crisis. But nobody got moving. Russia got moving now and all of a sudden Kiev wants to send aid and EU too...
I am really deeply sorry for all the people suffering because of international incompetence

Compare it with the German air raid on Coventry on 14 November 1940. It would have been easy to save Coventry from the worst of the devastation. But then Hermann Göring would have known that the enigma code had been broken.
Sometimes in war you have to let awful things happen even though you could stop them. Make no mistake Russia is fighting for its very survival, and on behalf of the rest of the BRICS who will fall if Russia were to fall.
