I can understand this, tbh, if I were in Kiev I'd be concerned that the convoy was being used to smuggle weapons too.

If the convoy picks up a Russian military escort as it nears the border I'm doubtful the Ukrainians could stop it but it would show all the world what Putins real intentions were.

He's not that brave or stupid...is he?
