July 23, 2014 12:10

In other news: Britain is still exporting arms and military equipment to Russia, according to a parliamentary report released today just hours after Prime Minister David Cameron rapped France for selling weapons to Moscow. Cameron has urged the EU to ban military sales to Russia - accused of equipping and training separatists in eastern Ukraine - and said Monday Britain had already halted such arms exports.

The British government promised in March to stop military sales to Russia. However the report found 251 licences were still in place for the sale to Russia of controlled goods worth at least USD 225 million.
