"If the situation with Ukraine difficult to resolve, it must have occurred to interfere 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 400 000 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.

France had to give the 1st ship "Vladivostok" in November of last year, it was announced November 14, but it never was. Russia expects France or delivery of the ships, or money back.
