Germany Halts Major Arms Deal With Russia

Berlin (AFP) – Germany said Wednesday any arms trading with Moscow was currently “indefensible” as it halted a major deal to provide a fully equipped training camp to Russian forces.

Vice-Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel announced the suspension of the Rheinmetall project as Moscow tightened its grip on the flashpoint Crimean peninsula.
