Russia defends sending aid convoy to Ukraine

Russia is defending what it calls an aid convoy for Ukraine. Government officials say the convoy has food, water and medical supplies, but Ukraine and the West are skeptical, saying it’s simply a pretext to invade the country.

They want any humanitarian supplies transferred to Ukrainian trucks at the border under the supervision of the Red Cross. CCTV’s Tom Barton reports from Moscow.
