A convoy of Russian aid trucks bound for the separatist held city of Luhansk in east Ukraine have crossed the border into the country.<br /><br />It is the second such convoy to enter Ukraine without the permission of the government in Kyiv.<br /><br />According to Russia the trucks are carrying food, medicine and generators.<br /><br />A fragile ceasefire continues to hold despite reports of sporadic fighting.<br /><br />At the Yalta European Strategy meeting taking place in the Ukranian capital acting Prime Minster Arseniy Yatsenyuk said two-way talks between Kyiv and Moscow are unequal and should be avoided: “We are not so strong to have bilateral talks and get a bilateral deal with Russia. They will outplay us, that’s what they expect and what they want to do. Putin wants a frozen conflict and he wants his hands in our belly fat.”<br /><br />It comes a day after the EU leveled more sanctions against Russia blocking loans to five big state banks and curbing EU business with oil and defence companies.
