Do the right thing, British defence secretary tells Russia

Britain's Defence Secretary Ben Wallace adds his voice to those calling on Russia to let Ukraine export its grain, Qazet.az reports.

He says it would help countries where grain scarcity could trigger hunger.

Russia must "do the right thing", Wallace tells reporters in Madrid, where he's been meeting Spanish defence minister Margarita Robles.

But he rejected Russia's demand to lift sanctions in order for it to free up exports.

He suggests instead that Black Sea nations, like Turkey, could escort Ukrainian grain shipments.
