ROMANS: Fifty-one minutes past the hour. It may be just hours before we find out what is really inside that mysterious Russian convoy. Russia insisting those 260 trucks contain humanitarian aid for the people of eastern Ukraine. And right now, Ukrainian guards are being allowed to inspect those vehicles. Now we're also learning armored Russian personnel carriers are now crossing illegally into Ukraine at the same time. Will Ripley, live from Kiev this morning. What's going on?</s>WILL RIPLEY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Christine, the Ukrainian government is now confirming that this Russian military convoy was carrying men wearing military uniforms as they cross the border overnight into eastern Ukraine, into the battle zone where the situation is becoming increasingly desperate for the pro-Russian rebels. Luhansk is almost cut off. It's just a very small area. The rebels now control Donetsk, the circle around that city is getting smaller. We're hearing from Ukrainian intelligence sources that the rebels are now trying to recruit new members to fight from local prisons, offering to let them out of prison in order to fight. So now you can see this convoy coming from Russia, which backs up claims by the Ukrainian government that for months now that these weapons and troops have been funneling in to keep this conflict raging on that so far has killed more than 2,000 people, including 20 children. That convoy from Russian which is still part on the Russian side being inspected by Ukrainian border guards right now. And if it is proven to be humanitarian aid, the Ukrainian government just now saying they will allow that aid to cross the border and get to the people who are in very desperate straits right now -- Christine.</s>ROMANS: A lot of skepticism from people in Ukraine about the motives, the true motives of Vladimir Putin and those Russian trucks. Thank you so much, Will Ripley. OK. Coca-Cola making a monster move. Forking over $2 billion to get into the energy drink business. We're going to get you an EARLY START on your money next.
