US says Russia transporting tanks into Ukrainian Separatists

The United has said the pro-Russia separatists in Ukraine received  tanks and other ammunition from Russia. The US state department said on Friday that a convoy of military vehicles, including three tanks, were transported from a Russian depot into Ukraine this week. Three T-64 tanks, multiple rocket launchers and other military vehicles crossed from Russian into the Ukraine near the town of Snizhne, the state department said, describing this as "unacceptable". 

The Guardian reports that the vehicles – apparently out-of-use Russian tanks – appear to have been commandeered by Ukrainian separatist forces. Ukraine first raised concerns about the tanks crossing into its eastern region on Thursday, after several reports, including video footage uploaded to Youtube, appeared to show Russian tanks passing through Snizhne.
