Or Perhaps Not

A Russian ship has been stopped by the British government off the Scottish coast over fears that it is carrying helicopters and missiles to Syria - as Russia announced it was sending troops to the region.
The decision to halt the liner followed an intervention from the Government, who warned the ship’s insurers that covering the vessel could breach an EU arms embargo.
British marine insurer Standard Club has withdrawn cover from the fleet of Russian company Femco who own the ship.
Under EU sanctions, countries are banned from exporting arms to Syria and providing other services including insurance.
