It seems the Russians are moving the convoi to Rostov, so i think they will send it trough the pro-Russian controled checkpoints in Lughansk. Will Poroshenko try to stop it or will it be delivered?

This may well be the moment of truth in this situation. It'll be hard for Putin to back down and lose face, the same for Ukraine to step aside
