Russia is still trying to do the "humanitarian" invasion thing regardless of western warnings that such movements are in fact illegal because all necessary NGOs and the IRC are already inside the Ukraine.

Here is the Russian FM's comments concerning the "humanitarian assistance"----notice they mentioned that they "received the US comments"--that is an interesting comment from the FM so they were in fact going to move an "humanitarian invasion" the across the border into the Ukraine and the US call "seemed" to bring the convoy to a halt.

Seems like the US has moved to a more forceful spoken English language set of words--whatever was said did make it into Putin's head.
What is interesting is that the current leader of the DNR at first was voicing the claim of major humanitarian problems and "wanted a ceasefire" and when he heard the Ukrainian militay response was "white flag and lay down your weapons" he no longer called for "humanitarian assistance".
While Russia in this link slams the Ukraine for not holding to the Geneva Agreements Russia "seemed" to forget that part of that agreement was the mercenaries laying down their arms and leaving all occupied buildings--and that is also what they signed as well.
Russia has a short memory on what it signs these days but that is part of their cognitive dissonance.
What is more interesting is the press release that Interfax placed on the same topic---notice the difference in press releases.
