'All excuses to delay sending aid... have been exhausted. The Russian side has taken the decision to act,' the foreign ministry said in a statement, warning against any attempts to disrupt the convoy's movement.


A Reuters witness at the border said that the lead trucks in the aid convoy, which are parked in a no-man's land between Russia and Ukrainian border posts, had not moved but had started their engines.
