"leader Francois Hollande made a catastrophic decision, refusing to supply "Mistral" of Russia ", - quotes Lebreton RIA " Novosti ". In his vision, the head of France's actions violated the word given to the client. European Politician called this act Hollande absurd, because Russia, according to his statement, is extremely interesting client for the French military industry, and the Ukrainian conflict is not a good reason to cancel the delivery.
"If the situation with Ukraine difficult to resolve, it was necessary to intervene in her much Earlier than we did, and through dialogue, not threats against Russia. Unfortunately, France is just beginning to understand, because it was not the correct tactic ", - stressed the Politician. Lebreton also emphasized the costs that have to be paid to France for the abolition of the supply helicopter: only the contents of vessels in the port of Saint-Nazaire costs the Paris 400 thousand Euros per month. The politician said that there were other countries willing to order from France ships." But when they see How we treat Russia, they, Clearly, will feel insecure and will go To competitors ", - noted he. Yesterday the head of the French Republic Francois Hollande said that Paris and Moscow are looking for a way out around the helicopter " Mistral ". April 16, leader Vladimir Putin said that Moscow will not require from Paris payments penalties and exorbitant fines for non-delivery of helicopter carrier type " Mistral ", But hopes that the French government will reimburse Russia costs. Fifteen April ship "Sevastopol" class " Mistral ", built by order of Russia at the French shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, has successfully completed validation in the sea. Earlier, the head of Rosoboronexport Anatoly Isaikin said Russia and France still have about 2 months of on the dialogues.

Opposing political force and the trade unions of France criticized the President of the Fifth Republic for refusing to put Russia "Mistral" alleging pressure from the capital of the USA. In the case of final refusal to supply Moscow with two Mistral France should pay Russia for about 3 billion euros. Meanwhile, Russia has already prepared all the documents for submission to the court of France. As said, the Russian defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, France paid compensation for breach of contract will go to the program of rearmament of the Russian army.
