AID CONVOY ++++++++++++ Russian aid convoy were stuck on the way to Ukraine ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Uncertainty surrounds the movement and route of a Russian aid convoy bound for east Ukraine after Ukrainian officials said they would not let it in. At least some of its 280 trucks are stalled in the Voronezh area, some (300 miles) from Moscow. Others are said to be heading further south. There have been fears Russia could use the convoy as a pretext for military action in Ukraine. The UN said the conflicts death toll has doubled in the past two weeks. Altogether, at least 2,086 people have been killed since mid-April, when Ukraine sent troops against pro-Russia rebels in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The fighting has displaced almost 300,000 people, many of whom have fled to Russia.
