British missiles to down Putin's ships as horror war takes to sea with MORE weapons
BRITAIN WILL send anti-ship missiles to Ukraine to prevent a blockade of the Black Sea that could increase food prices.
The latest intelligence from the Ministry of Defence estimates there are 20 Russian navy vessels in the Black Sea, including submarines.

Russia's navy have faced "embarrassing losses" in the form of the landing ship Saratov and the flagship Moskva, but British defence officials warn they still have the force necessary to strike at the Ukrainian coast.

Asked on Sky News about the supply of weapons to Ukraine, Ben Wallace said: “We have said we will source and supply, if we can, anti-ship missiles.

“It’s incredibly important that grain that affects us all [through] food prices, does get out of Ukraine.”

Ukraine is often referred to as the "breadbasket of the world" for how much worldwde grain is produced in the country.

He added that Russia could not be allowed to “control the Black Sea” as “it’s not theirs anymore”.

“Making sure that Russian ships are not used to bombard cities is important.”

On March 13 the MoD said Russia had established a “distant blockade” of Ukraine’s Black Sea coast, effectively isolating the country from international maritime trade.
