In what look like a direct response to the news of Russia releasing images of super nuclear weapons yesterday, the Spanish government has directed all refuel to Russian warships should stop.

The Russian warships before now relied on the Spanish government for refuel, in their Syria mission.  The warships which normally sail through Britain to the Mediterranean will no longer have the leisure to stop and refuel for their operations, given this statement from the Spanish government.

This announcement which is heavily backed by NATO could hinder Russia’s bombing campaign in Syria Aleppo.

Speaking on this, the Defence Secretary, Sir Michael Fallon said ‘we would be extremely concerned if a NATO member should consider assisting a Russian carrier group that might end up bombing Syria’.

NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg, speaking at a meeting of Alliance defence ministers in Brussels, said the deployment raises concerns that air assaults could increase in Syria, notably in the besieged city of Aleppo.

Blaming Russia for exacerbating a humanitarian disaster there, Mr Stoltenberg said:

‘men, women and children are dying every day, killed by disgraceful attacks on their homes and even their hospitals’.

He noted that all 28 allies are aware of Nato’s concern that the Russian ships could be used by Russia as a platform to bomb Aleppo and elsewhere in support of Syrian president Bashar Assad.

Before Russia withdrew the request, Spain had said it was reconsidering whether to allow the flotilla to refuel in its North African enclave of Ceuta.

The Spanish foreign ministry said in a statement that Russian navy ships have been stopping in Spanish ports for years and that requests ‘are approved case by case, depending on the characteristics of the vessel’.
