Stripping vessel carrying Syria-bound cargo of its insurance proves UK insurance system unreliable - Lavrov

MOSCOW. June 21 (Interfax) - The incident involving a ship charted by Russia, which was stopped off the Scottish coast, shows that the UK insurance system is unreliable, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told Ekho Moskvy radio on Thursday.

"What has happened to the ship carrying military hardware to Syria under a bilateral contract is sign that the UK insurance system is unreliable," he said.
