The 200 trucks in Russia's second convoy with humanitarian aid for the troubled eastern regions of Ukraine have crossed the border Friday night and Saturday morning, reports RT.com. 

“At 08:00 Moscow time  the customs procedures for all trucks and goods in them were completed,” local customs service spokesman Rayan Farukshin told RIA Novosti news agency.

The trucks started passing through Russia’s „Donetsk” checkpoint into the buffer zone shortly before midnight on Friday. 

Trucks had to wait for several hours to get clearance for further movement from Russian customs officers supervised by their Ukrainian colleagues.

The 200 white Kamaz trucks were waiting for their turn to undergo customs proceedings, as the first group moved into Ukrainian territory early on Saturday morning.

Along the route of the convoy, the members of the self-proclaimed republic’s defense forces are ensuring its safety, ITAR-TASS reports. 

Besides that, the convoy that moves toward Lugansk at around 60 kilometers per hour is escorted by traffic police vehicles.
