MOSCOW, June 3 (TASS) - Russia needs to make sure that commercial ships expected to take grain out of Ukraine do not bring more weapons to the country, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said in an interview to Qatar’s Al Jazeera television.

"We need to be sure that commercial ships, for example transporting wheat [from Ukraine] will not bring weapons there," he said. "We do not want additional weaponry to be delivered to Ukraine aboard those trade vessels, under the guise of humanitarian aid or something like that.".
