Green little men-disguise outdated. Putin invents new 'KHAKI little men +white trucks' concept Russian reinforcements and supplies disguised as 'humanitarian aid' for Ukraine
Video of so-called humanitarian aid for East-Ukraine uploaded on August 10th:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=X72AmOyFN-MThe police cars have 99 on their number plates. Since these are military plates (black with white characters instead of white and black characters), it does NOT mean they come from Moscow region:
The Russian Wikipedia shows what it means: just 'military police'.
These trucks have 76, which means they come from the Urals Military District:
50 is Moscow Military District (see here):
http://o001oo.ru/index.php?showtopic=9209Some geographical features:
There is a rail-road behind the trucks:
Big electricity poles and industrial-like halls:
More poles and buildings:
This corresponds with this location:
Blue arrow = route driver
Yellow line = railway
Red boxes = obviously newly build halls

So the location is confirmed.
According to Wikimapia this entire area belongs to the 5th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade: Soldiers getting instructions:
In the video it can clearly be seen that there is military presence:
Soldiers getting instructions:
Here are cars painted with red crosses:
Radar for S-300 complex can be seen here:
But since this is a regular Russian military base it is not clear if this will be used for East-Ukraine of course.
in this screenshot a white 'humanitarian truck' can be seen INSIDE the base:
This Panoramio photo shows all kinds of military equipment can regularly be seen st that location:
Interpretermag.com talks about 300 trucks.

Wow, they even have ONE truck with food:
Logos and number plates removed:

Auto translation of the text says: "Early in the morning KAMAZ with the "humanitarian aid" checked out Alabino. Go columns about 30 trucks with large gaps."
The city Alabino is next to this military base. It means they just left...
Another photo of the convoy:

Red Cross in Kiev, which would coordinate aid distribution, tells me they weren't informed by Russia before the convoy departed.

Conclusion
From a MILITARY base near Moscow Russia prepared white trucks as 'humanitarian aid' for (East)Ukraine. This clearly is a disguise for equipment, supplies and reinforcements and probably some food as well of course.
Since the eastern border with Ukraine is in complete control of Russia, nobody will be able to check the real contents of these trucks. Yet, when attacked by Ukraine, Russia will have a perfect Propaganda excuse to further escalate the conflict. If left unharmed, Russia can easily supply and reinforce their troops in Ukraine like this.
Again: this is a military operation...
Biut don't be fooled. There are 100+ REAL Russian army vehicles in Novoshahtinsk ready to enter Ukraine:
