Russia tells Britain give back Gibraltar & Falklands before telling US what to do
‘Russia has told Britain it should “clean its conscience” and give back Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands before it criticises them over their involvement in Ukraine.
Moscow’s ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Churkin made the shocking remarks when responding to his British counterpart Matthew Rycroft at a UN security council meeting in New York.
