EU condemns Russia’s second humanitarian aid to Ukraine without country’s consent

Russia sent the second humanitarian convoy to Ukraine's east to the detriment of international standards, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton said in her official statement, the Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported.

"During the weekend, the second Russian humanitarian convoy arrived in Ukraine and left the country's territory without the consent or inspections by Ukrainian authorities," Ashton said, adding that this contradicts with the fundamental principles of the international law.

"Thus, the way of sending the humanitarian aid is illegal and violates Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty," the statement said.
