1200 tons of whatever as they are never controlled BUT amazingly they show up either just before a major offensive or right after an offensive...just a routine Russian military resupply...has nothing to do with their claim of humanitarian aid.....
They ran out of munitions and fuel thus the low level of attacks yesterday.....33.....and then the sudden Russian "aid" deliveries......

Appears the info war pushback from social media and EU anti info war orgs are starting to grate on the Russians........

New type of export from #Ukraine to #Russia under war conditions, read:
http://goo.gl/ZiQAUD
38 boxes with "cargo 200" (Cargo 200 is a code word, refers to bodies contained in zinc-lined coffins) were transported from the conflict zone in Donbass to the territory of Russia in the night on April 16 according to report of the Ukrainian intelligence service. The trucks with the bodies crossed the state border in the former checkpoint "Donetsk - Donetsk."
We assume, that among those 38 bodies was nine of those Russian soldiers of a separate assault battalion, who previously were taken to the morgue of Yasynuvata town after battles in Avdyivka.

BUT remember Obama called the Russian armored invasion of eastern an "incursion" and since then has not had much interest in settling the issue outside is issuing just words and more words as he is retrenching in Europe as he already has retrenched in the ME.....the next US President will be digging themselves out of one deep deep cave.....as we are long past the "deep hole stage".
Remember two years ago when the Russian Army invaded eastern Ukraine all the UAF had initially was a bunch of "volunteer" BNs fighting a well trained Russian army with whatever weapons and radios they could find and or purchase.....example..in the Donetsk Airport they fought a 242 day battle being virtually surrounded and gained the UAF time to rebuild before ebing over run by Russian Spetsnaz. Breaking along the way the Stalingrad record.
Since then the UAF has built an impressive 250,000 man army similar to building a sailing ship in the middle of a hurricane all the while fighting a well armed and supplied Russian Army and has basically fought them to a stand still ground offensive after ground offensive inflicting this round a high number of Russian regular troop loses in killed and wounded.

So, NATO and Russia had their first big chat in two years. It didn't go very well. Latest from me and @peterhobson15 https://twitter.com/moscowtimes/stat...45107905552384 …
Col. Oleksandr Motuzyanyk: As reported by UA mil intel, during previous 3 days, 10 militants were killed & 13 more wounded in ATO area
ATO spox: Yesterday, Ukrainian Armed Forces did not incur any casualties, 4 UA soldiers were wounded near Avdiyivka
Col. Motuzyanyk: Mariupol sector: Maryinka – epicenter of hostilities; enemy snipers were active
Col. Oleksandr Motuzyanyk: Luhansk sector: Militants violated cease-fire regime in Shchastya & near Popasna
ATO spokesperson: Donetsk sector: militants were most active near Avdiyivka; other hotspots: Zaytseve & near Donetsk airport
Benefits for militants?
19 Russian-backed separatist "officials" receive regular payments as internally displaced persons
The SBU also discovered a scheme by which over 600,000 were claiming IDP status and receiving payments and that 10% was actually long dead.....So-called officials from the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, which is considered a terrorist organisation, received social benefits from Ukrainian authorities as internally displaced persons.
The scheme was uncovered by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU). 19 Russian-backed separatist self-appointed representatives registered on the government-controlled territories as the persons, who were forced to flee their homes, and then sent couriers to get their money.
At the moment, all payments have been stopped.
Soviet....ah now Russian style corruption dies hard in Ukraine these days....

Ukrainian border guards recorded large-scale deliveries of "special vehicles" from Russia to occupied territories http://qha.com.ua/en/society/russia-...donbas/136906/ …
Oleh Slobodian, Spokesman for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, said that the vehicle shipment (100 units) has been delivered through a closed checkpoint "Dolzhansky."
“On April 18, Russia started unauthorized deliveries of large-scale shipment (over 100 units) of special vehicles allegedly for the needs of the so-called "Ministry of Emergency Situations of the separatist quasi-public unit" through a closed checkpoint Dolzhansky," said the Spokesman at a briefing in Kyiv, as reported by UNIAN.
According to Slobodian, special vehicles are supposed to be fire trucks, tank trucks and rescue vehicles.
He also added that Russia plans to complete the deliveries of specialized vehicles until 28 April.
