“All vehicles had reached the Ukrainian-Russian border without incidents and the last of them crossed the border at 18:30,” a source said.
Early on Saturday, a convoy of 245 trucks crossed the border and headed to Lugansk to deliver more than 2,000 tonnes of relief supplies to the residents of the war-torn city, including food, power generators, medicines, and blankets.
