VORONEZH, Russia – A Russian aid convoy has resumed its travels toward Ukraine and has taken the road leading south toward the rebel-held city of Luhansk.

Associated Press reporters saw the trucks leave the military depot in the southern Russian city of Voronezh early Thursday.

The convoy of about 262 vehicles had been parked since late Tuesday amid disagreement over how and where it would cross into Ukraine, where government troops are battling pro-Russia separatists.

By sending the convoy south, Russia appears intent on not abiding by an earlier tentative agreement to deliver the aid to a Ukraine government-controlled crossing in the Kharkiv region, where it could be inspected by the Red Cross.
