RUSSIA IS SENDING AID TO CONFLICT-TORN EAST UKRAINE ------------------------------------------------------ Russia said it would dispatch a humanitarian convoy to conflict-torn east Ukraine despite fierce warnings from the West that Moscow not act alone as a cover for sending in troops. Russian President Vladimir Putin told European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso that Moscow is sending a humanitarian convoy to Ukraine in cooperation with representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross. However, NATO said Kremlin has massed 20,000 troops at the Ukrainian border and there is deep concern in the West that Russia will intervene to protect pro-Moscow separatists under threat from a government onslaught.
