Quite a quiet bombshell has exploded today at the border crossing point in Izvarino where the Russian humanitarian convoy is stuck. The official representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross, whom Moscow has effectively put in charge of the Russian convoy, made a statement to the press in which he several times effectively identified Ukraine and Russia as the two parties to the conflict--the one and the same conflict in Donbass, . At the same time, the ICRC is also de facto excluding the authorities of Novorossiya from this classification. In fact, the ICRC representative did not mention the authorities of Novorossiya at all. (Listen especially to the first half of the press briefing) https://youtube/watch?v=LRRUHxrNdKs So here you have it. Russia is trying to send humanitarian aid to Novorossiya, it asks the ICRC to help do it, and the ICRC dutifully in return defines Russia as one of the two parties to the conflict. The ICRC also explained that they made the fate of the convoy and this humanitarian aid dependent not only on the Nazi juntas general consent, which is not coming, but also on the Kiev juntas security guarantees, which, with the US and EU support for the Nazis in Kiev, gives Poroshenko, the Nazi oligarch in chief now, a veto power over Russian humanitarian aid. Even if Kiev formally gives security guarantees (meaning that it will not try to attack the humanitarian convoy), which is now more than doubtful, a formal assurance from the Nazi junta has no credibility given its lies and attempted coverups of the Maidan snipers, the Odessa massacre, the downing of the Malaysian airliner by Ukrainian fighter jets, systematic killings of the civilians in Donbass, systematic violations of the rules of war, and its being already caught in trying to organize attacks on the very same convoy.
