The war reporter on the " Mistral ": the Russian Federation shall cease to forgive
Russia cannot make concessions to France on the question related to ships of the " Mistral ", said a military journalist Viktor Baranets edition.
Baranets recalls that Authorized the Russian fleet before repeatedly stated that the ships of the type "Mistal" by and large have no practical use in the Russian Federation. For this reason, concludes the analyst can predict that the order for these ships was a goodwill gesture in response to the mediation Sarkozy during the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict in 2008. He clarified that the implementation of the courts was to bring France almost 1, 25 billion euros and provide employment to several thousand people on the ship shipyards of Saint-Nazaire.
"so, the possible termination of the contract will serve as a double betrayal: a betrayal of trust of a different country (think of the original restraint of India in the matter of acquisition of aircraft" Rafale ", and it's still not close to completion) and the French engaged in the construction of ships, " said a military journalist.
Francois Hollande stated the reluctance of France to transfer the ships to Russia in connection with the Ukrainian crisis, however Baranets believes that in this matter it is necessary to separate the economic argument from the political.
"If we follow the French tactics, then it should have said Francois Hollande that the Russian Federation will never allow to give the ships to China, as long as the French foreign Ministry will not cease to provide direct or indirect support of the Syrian (so-called) opposition. This act was deplorable stupidity, but would be a worthy match for such diplomacy demonstrated by the ?lys?e Palace, " said the journalist.
He said that the French government wants to solve the problem with the " Mistral ", paying Russia a sum much inferior to the price of the contract. Russia, according to Baranets, it is impossible to agree on such rules.
"If Russia does not wish to give the brotherly Ukrainian people, why did she have to do this about France? The sense of reality begins to prevail over the sense of historical solidarity. Russia forgives from the times of Napoleon Bonaparte
