Humanitarian Aid or Trojan Horse?

Anybody watching conflict in Ukraine puzzles over this new episode: "Russian humanitarian aid convoy".

For at least last two weeks Russians were insisting that they want to send their "peace keeping" troops to Eastern Ukraine to protect civilians from "evil" Ukraine troops that are invading their own country. Since nobody bought their twisted reasoning they urgently needed new excuse to sent their "peace peace keepers". And, it seems they found one. The peace loving young Russian soldiers will protect the humanitarian aid convoy that Moscow is sending to Ukraine, and since it is a large convoy, 280 heavy military trucks, quite a few will be needed to protect it.

The fear is that this is a "Trojan horse" that may spark World War III.
