British Defense Minister Grant Shapps has denied plans to send ships to the Black Sea to protect Ukrainian grain carriers, APA reports.
"There will be no British warships in the Black Sea; London does not intend to send its fleet to protect Ukrainian grain carriers, said Shapps.
"I do not expect any Royal Navy ships to be sent to the Black Sea to unblock Ukrainian grain exports," Shapps said in an interview with a journalist from The Guardian.
