KIEV, Ukraine, Aug. 18 (UPI) -- The first 16 Russian aid trucks, part of a convoy of about 270 trucks carrying humanitarian supplies for embattled eastern Ukraine, are holding at the Donetsk checkpoint in Russia until the International Committee of the Red Cross receives security assurances from both sides.
On Sunday, it seemed that the trucks would be inspected Monday, with the Red Cross tweeting: "Border and customs officials from Russia and Ukraine agree to inspect first group of Russian convoy trucks shortly," adding, "We will observe."
