Russia Sends Second Humanitarian Convoy Into Ukraine, And Nobody Says A Word
About a month ago, when Russia sent a humanitarian convoy to aid ethnic Russians in east Ukraine, the Western world, and of course media, screamed bloody murder, with everyone from NATO to the Kiev government declaring it, without a shadow of a doubt, an invasion, a Trojan Horse, and a convoy of arms deliveries for the rebels caught in the Ukraine civil war, not necessarily in that order. Nobody thought it could possibly be just that: a convoy of humanitarian aid delivering provisions to hundreds of thousands of civilians caught in the middle of a war. Then finally, after weeks of delays, the convoy was allowed in and after unloading its cargo, promptly returned to Russia without a single incident.
Fast forward to today, when hours ago Russia sent a second humanitarian convoy into east Ukraine, which entered without enter the approval of Kiev or the oversight of the Red Cross and nobody said a word.
As if all the posturing and warmongering rhetoric have long since departed the Ukraine, now that the US is fully engaged in yet another war, this time not a proxy civil war but one involving doing Qatar's natural gas pipeline bidding once more, meaning it is time to conclude what was started in early 2013 and once again try to dethrone Syria's assad so that the all important Gazprom-displacing pipeline from the middle east can finally make its way to Europe, aided by a soon to be new, pro-American government in Syria.
But back to Ukraine where the second convoy barely made news and the details about it were only revealed several paragraphs deep inside this AP article about ongoing fighting near the Donetsk airport:
On Saturday Russia also sent a convoy across the border of Ukraine, loaded with what Russian reports said was humanitarian aid, without the approval of Kiev or oversight of the international Red Cross. A similar convoy in August was loudly condemned by Ukrainian officials as an invasion, but this time around Lysenko simply called the move "illegal." The country's top leaders have remained silent, underscoring how dramatically the mood has shifted in the Kiev government since a cease-fire deal was struck.
The last truck crossed onto Ukrainian soil early Saturday from the Russian border town Donetsk, some 200 kilometers (120 miles) miles east of the Ukrainian city with the same name, Rayan Farukshin, a spokesman for Russia's customs agency, told the Associated Press by phone.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's observer mission to the Russian-Ukrainian border said 220 trucks had crossed into Ukraine. Only 40 trucks were checked by the Russian border guard, while the other 180 were waved straight through, it said. None of the vehicles were inspected by the Ukrainian side or by the ICRC.
"Ukraine border guards and customs were not allowed to examine the cargo and vehicles," Lysenko said. "Representatives of the Red Cross don't accompany the cargo, nobody knows what's inside."
The Russian emergency ministry, which coordinated previous humanitarian aid deliveries to Ukraine, could not be reached for comment about the convoy.
Even the AP is confused by the change in rhetoric:
In August, Ukrainian officials said that a first convoy of humanitarian aid from Russia would be seen as an invasion of the country, and loudly protested any attempts by Russia to unilaterally bring in the aid. Eventually Russia sent its trucks across the border and into rebel-held territory without the oversight of the International Red Cross, contrary to an agreement signed between Ukraine and Russia.
A representative of the ICRC's Moscow office said they had not been informed about the current convoy, either.
"We were not officially notified of an agreement between Moscow and Kiev to ship the cargo," Galina Balzamova said Saturday.
Others were also quick to point out the inconsistencies in a narrative that changes day to day:
Last time Russia sent a humanitarian aid convoy to Ukraine, the SBU chief said it was an "invasion."

The vast difference in reaction to this Russian convoy and the previous one shows how much things have changed in #Ukraine in a few weeks.

Back in Kiev, the confused Western-puppet government, while reiterating the generic talking points, had no idea how to frame the second Russian humanitarian "invasion" so it just kept silent.
At a conference with politicians and business leaders in Kiev, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said that Ukraine was "still in a state of war" with neighboring Russia and struck out against President Vladimir Putin, whose goal he said was to "take the entire Ukraine." "He cannot cope with the idea that Ukraine would be a part of a big EU family. He wants to restore the Soviet Union," Yatsenyuk said.
Despite the tough talk, often heard among Ukrainian politicians as they gear up for parliamentary election, Yatsenyuk made no mention of the Russian convoy.
RIA reports that the distribution of Russian humanitarian aid will start as early as Monday, according to the First Deputy Premier Minister of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic Valery Potapov: "We will start giving out [humanitarian aid to the population] on Monday," the official said. He also noted that the Luhansk authorities have designed a system of humanitarian aid distribution following the previous Russian humanitarian aid convoy, delivered to the Eastern Ukrainian city in late August. Which suggest that the convoy will remain around Donetsk for at least 48 hours, something with the Kiev regime of a month ago would loudly label as a undisputed invasion, and yet this time, nobody says a word.
Which goes back to what we wondered about last week: why the push by both sides, Ukraine and Russia, to mask the ongoing events in eaat Ukraine under a blanket "ceasefire" regime, when clearly nothing has changed and when the fighting between the Ukraine army and separatists is waged daily: who is it that benefits the most from a facade of fake clam and what happens next?

I have decided to make some changes.
General Bill Ayers is now Supreme Chief Joint. You will all take orders from him.
(In unison)
Great uniform, Gen. Ayers. Can we get you some coffee? Food? money? Airplanes?
Yes, and some hot chicks and coke. Next, take this US flag out back and burn it. I also found this old parchment in the Archives. It says "US Constitution." Burn it too. I wrote a New One.
Sir,the new one only says you are in charge and report only to the Super Supreme Imam Commander in Chief.
Correct. We wll make up everything else depending on the situation.
Next, round up all the black and white and asian americans and put them in work camps. I have decided to have mexicans under my command. I am the only white man allowed, unless I choose some chumps like you guys to work for me. Next, our Supremem Imam in Chief needs a new VP. Find Charles Manson and bring him here.

"He's fleeing the interview!"
I'm curious about the stories of the EU mercs/special forces fighting alongside the rebels. Anything on that?
EU armed forces ? what are they ?
I think this is what you meant.......
„Nach uns vorliegenden Angaben kämpfen in der Ukraine 17 ehemalige polnische Elitesoldaten der Spezialkräfte GROM. Pro Tag ‚verdienen‘ sie bis zu 500 US-Dollar.“
Piskorski sagte ferner, dass das Ministerium für nationale Verteidigung Polens eigentlich wissen sollte, dass ehemalige GROM-Angehörige sich derzeit in der Ukraine befinden. „Das Ministerium will die Angaben mit der Begründung nicht kommentieren, dass es sich um ehemalige Spezialkräfte handelt.“
Polish troops - former members of GROM are being paid $500/day to fight with Ukrainian regime forces.......

That is a lot of money to get your ass kicked, have your apples go bad, your pilots shot down and the gas to warsaw shut down.
the so called leaders probably have escaped to somewhere in the West.
Sometimes A Humanitarian Aid Convoy is just A Humanitarian Aid Convoy.
"...here is your Okroshka comrade. Oh, don't forget your AK-47"
It was Barzini (Syria) all along.
Can't fool the Don.
Perhaps Russia has presented enough evidence on MH17 (and other misdeeds) to the US to cause a lull in the action on the part of Ukraine/NATO/US/IL and the gang, until they can think up a new stratagem.
Not Russia - but the 'unofficial preliminary report' on MH17 from the 'official investigation' is now in the hands of the EU leaders (marked For Your Eyes Only). We will never see the full evidence made public, but the EU leaders now know the Ukies did it. Hence no 'invasion rhetoric' and a delay in signing the trade agreement between the EU and the Ukies. The EU still wants that trade agreement (since it means EU products go into Ukraine while the Ukies go into debt to EU banks). - but the EU would rather sign with the next Ukie leader.
Look at that light pole and those trees. Is this really a photo of President Dubya's humanitarian convoy enroute to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina?
Dubya sent Israeli mercs there to disarm Katrina residents shoot them up and told Brownie you are doing a hell of a job.
Wow!
The Purge is coming in Russia
