Sanctions over the Ukraine conflict are affecting British farmers. Obviously the farmers should all blame Mr Putin.

BBC News - MPs urge action on milk price cuts

MPs have urged the government to do more to protect dairy farmers from sharp falls in milk prices.

The Commons Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee said farmers were being forced out of business every week by factors beyond their control.

The government said it was doing all it could to help farmers cope with the "volatility of the global market".

Milk prices have come under pressure from a combination of rising supply and falling demand, particularly as a result of lower-than-expected demand from China and Russia's ban on food imports.

Moscow's decision to ban EU dairy products, taken in response to sanctions over the Ukraine conflict, had led to 2.5 billion litres of milk not being sold in Russia, the MPs said.
