BREAKING: Russia ships ‘will not refuel in Spain’
Russia has withdrawn a request for three warships to dock at the Spanish port of Ceuta for refuelling, the Spanish foreign ministry says.
It says the stopovers have therefore been cancelled.
Spain had been coming under pressure from Nato allies to not allow the refuelling of Russian warships bound for Syria.
A battle group continues to be sailing to the Mediterranean for the past week from Russia.
