Ukraine Humanitarian Aid Convoy Returns To Russia
So much ado for nothing.
Following nearly 2 weeks of artificial tension and fake selloffs that brought the S&P within a fraction of 2000 only for Yellen to "not be Dovish" enough and spoil the party, with the first red Jackson Hole close in 5 years, the Russian "humanitarian" convoy which the objective media led everyone to believe was a Trojan horse just itching to launch a war in Ukraine, has left Ukraine after delivering its cargo.
According to Reuters, a total of 184 vehicles from the Russian aid convoy which approached the Ukraine border on August 14 and only crossed into Ukraine on Friday "without permission", in a move which Ukraine first derided as a Direct Invasion then once again quickly changed its tune and admitted it had given it permission to enter to "avoid confrontations" have returned to Russia, citing a Ukrainian military spokesman said.
"According to our information as of 1 p.m. (1000 GMT), the departure from the territory of Ukraine by 184 Russian vehicles has been confirmed," the spokesman, Andriy Lysenko, told Reuters.
He said they had left through the same crossing point by which they had entered via the Ukrainian border settlement of Izvaryne. No checks by Ukrainian border guards or customs officers had taken place.
Asked how many Russian vehicles still remained in Ukraine, he replied: "I don't know."
Nothing quite like being on top of things: perhaps the CIA is no longer sharing its data with the Kiev regime?
Furthermore, considering Ukraine's government has been in a constant state of propaganda dissemination from the beginning, a matching and probably more credible source of information in this disinformation war is the Russian foreign ministry, which confirmed that the humanitarian aid has been delivered to the besieged city of Lugansk in eastern Ukraine. Meanwhile all trucks that delivered aid had returned to Russia.
“We express our satisfaction that the Russian humanitarian aid for those in need in southeastern Ukraine has been delivered as intended. We were motivated only by the goal of helping civilian citizens in need,” the statement read.
All trucks have returned empty, Ukrainian and Russian border guards confirmed, Russian Deputy Emergency Minister Eduard Chizhikov said.
“There were 227 trucks in the humanitarian operation participating in the operation, and they have all returned. All those vehicles have been searched by the representatives of the customs and border control, both on the Ukrainian and Russian side. No issues have been pointed out. All vehicles were empty upon returning, and the media representatives checked that, too, while they were filming the search,” Chizhikov stated.
But the endless drama...
The Foreign Ministry also said that they were “getting a lot of feedback from the residents of Lugansk, who were thankful for such a good attitude from the Russian part.”
A clip of the eastern Ukraine locals greeting the Russian convoy:
And perhaps in even more amusing news, Russia not only reacted to the latest "lie" out of NATO's Rasmussen, hell bent on finding the pretext to deliver even more NATO forces on the border with Russia, but said that it no longer pays attention to what he says:
Russia’s Defense Ministry has denied “another portion of accusations” by representatives of NATO against Russia. The latest claims include allegations that Russia directly involved its military and heavy weaponry in fighting on the Ukrainian territory.
“We’ve stopped paying attention to Mr. Rasmussen’s empty talk and his press secretary. There is no point commenting on them. There is no proof there except Twitter,” official representative of Russia’s Defense Ministry Igor Konashenkov stated.
“I would like to remind you that the official powers of Mr. Rasmussen ended on July 31, and today he’s acting not so much for the alliance, but as the organizer of the September 4 NATO summit in Wales. We understand that his prospects will depend on the promotion of that event,” the statement also said.
This is the same NATO that condemned the delivery of aid to a population stuck in the middle of the Ukraine civil war, which according to the red cross itself said was living in abysmal conditions, without water or power. The same population that once again just got that much closer to aligning with Russia in lieu of a Kiev government that has declared war on it. Lugansk residents have already expressed hope that Russia will provide more humanitarian aid in the future, first vice premier of the Lugansk People’s Republic Vasily Nikitin told RIA Novosti. “We don’t have any food left, and we hope that Russia won’t leave us in this situation and these humanitarian convoys containing food will become commonplace. We hope for the help, and we need it,” Nikitin stated.
The simplest way this would happen, of course, is when the Donetsk republic follows in the steps of Crimea is annexed by Russia. However, with massive shale gas deposits located under the region, and with Hunter Biden director of a company that is quite eager to extract said shale gas, there is no way this region is going without a fight, one in which NATO is a key member.

"Putin, making the Western world look foolish one day at a time."
Not true. The west is making the west look foolish.
True. The West does what it does best.
God, what I wouldn't give for a couple of diplomats on the Wests side instead of the hack Politicians we have today.
BALLS!
If those trucks were bombed by Ukraine then SPY would gap up Monday. Gold would continue getting the piss beat out of it.
Now it's just going to be a slow ramp up day and gold being held from going up.
I read on one of the forums that a lot of the drivers on this mission were volunteers who refused to be paid. Massive respect to all those who had the courage and the heart to do the right thing.

Au contraire, pal.
In spite of the the 'Huffer, Puffer and Duffer-in Chief' and 'Fatso-in-Chief' and sundry other Western dildos, like Breedlove and Rasmussen, Putin ordered his trucks to deliver aid to the devastated Donbas region. They did.
Putin 1 0 Everybody else.
We will sing "For he's a jolly good fellow" to Vladimir Vladimirovich tomorrow. Try to attend.
The Ukraine joined the European Union in June. Now it's almost September.
I don't hear much news about the benefits of the union for the Ukraine.
So far, the local auto manufacturer ZAZ has been closed as cheap cars from Europe have been flooding the Ukraine. The spaceship manufacturer Yuzhmash idles.
Cheap apples from Poland are decimating Ukrainian agro businesses.
Jeez, you're a mine of information. Ukraine isn't even close to being in the EU, FFS.
The fascists quickly approved the convoy.
The reason: they want to show, that they rule Ukraine.
They do not. Russian trucks move in and move out without waithing for their permission.
Kiev has lost this war. It might go on for another 5 years, but the dirty Jews lost.
And with them also CIA. Yankees go home from Europe (and the whole world).
Well, that about wraps up the "CONVOY" threads folks. I feel all warm and fuzzy that it's not America that sent the aid somewhere Again. Nobody appreciates it when we do so let someone else have all that, "glory".
Well we sent money and Blackwater.
That's gotta count for something.
To be fair and balanced the US does send a lot of 'aid' drones to various locations around the world, just doing their bit as well I suppose.............mmmmm.
What a hoot! If you give a fool enough rope (lies) he will get tangled up in the rope and hang himself! Ha. Ha. The United States of America (overthrown) certainly has a boat load of Treasonous lying Empire globalist fools; the laughing stock of the real world.
Like all psychopaths, Washington's Empire psychopaths are becoming more isolated from the rest of the world and they want to reach out and kill anyone that gets in their way.
The two black guys that own the race card have a perfect impedance to their prosecution for Treason. Look at the treasonous corrupt fools in Congress and Washington's representatives; Treason is the new normal.
Make a list and scream: No more! Hang the criminals for Treason!
"Treason doth never prosper; what's the reason?
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason."
Sir John Harrington, about 400 years ago
“At the front, people die for their mistakes. Why should politicians be more gently treated? They made the war. They deserve a dozen deaths, each of them. What can we try them for, except for treason, and how can you punish treason, except by death?” Hilary Mantel
This humanitarian aid resembles the classic phrase that says for the first girlfriend:
- Do not worry, just put her little head.
Kkkkkkkkkkkkk!
Russia Today material!
LOL :D
so let me see if I understand this correctly...
you don't actually have to bomb a country in order to provide aid to those innocent civilians caught up in a war within it?
and futher you can assist those people in that country even if the government in charge (well, kind of) is not the one you installed via a coup? further still, you can render aid even if you are in conflict with said government?
and to top it off this particular convoy was not filled with 100,000 mad Russians crouched down inside of the trucks waiting to rush out and spread across the Ukriane like some kind of biblical plauge?
I must admit there is a certian guilty pleasure in watching Moscow make the western leadership look like a bunch of idiot cartoon villian lunatics...again. I would strongly suggest that Europe consider cutting Washington loose before it's to late, if they are this bound and determined to self destruct on the world stage better to be an audience member watching it than getting draged down into the abyss with them for no good reason.
idiot cartoon villian lunatics...again,,,,,,,,,,yes but it is very amusing watching, still waiting for msm to find the 32 APC's that supposedly the Ukrainian artillery destroyed but then forgot where they were aiming.
But,But, i thought the trucks were going to magicially combine and transform into a 300ft tall Optimus Putin when they got to Lugansk and take over the world!
At least, thats what the msm made it out to be.
Ok, ok. I'm trying to drink here. The 'Optimus Putin' comment made me spray beer everywhere.
RAS PUTIN!
I-man Dread strike Babylon down!

I just realized what is missing. In the past, every time world politics got tense, the GOP would put out propoganda pushing for more military spending. Like when Regan bought airtime and told the public the USSR had so many more planse, subs, ect. Maybe Obama just doesn't even feel the need to tell the public about arms spending, or maybe he's afraid we'll ask about money he's sending to ISIS and Al-quida. But with the cancelation of the F22 and failures of the F35 you think the whole GOP would be screaming for infinite dollars.
Or maybe its all for show.
Damn it Vlad...
I told you not to feed em.
Now look. They followed you home.
No! You can't keep them.
Happy Nazi-Soviet nonaggression pact of 1939 Day. Germany has changed, the Russians....not so much.
