As UNIAN reported, the 49th Russian "humanitarian convoy" violated Ukraine's territory on February 18, 2016.

The Russian side does not allow Ukrainian customs and border officers to inspect its "humanitarian" aid.

The Ukrainian side has repeatedly reported that it has proof that boxes with food and other freight delivered by Russia's convoys contain weapons, ammunition and anti-tank grenades.

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry has demanded that Russia stop violating Ukraine's sovereignty by sending the so-called humanitarian convoys.
