WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 (UPI) -- The White House warned Friday that Russia's movement of 130 alleged humanitarian aid vehicles into eastern Ukraine had violated international law and would incur "additional consequences."
The incident occurred Friday morning when 130 KamAZ trucks that the White House said were "Russian military vehicles painted to look like civilian trucks" bypassed inspection from Ukrainian officials and, with the help of a Russian forces blockade, entered Ukraine without escort by International Committee of the Red Cross personnel.
