French politician: Mistral certainly required to be delivered to Russia
France signed the Treaty and certainly should put Mistral to Russia, said a French politician Roland Dumas, a former foreign Minister and former head of the constitutional Council of France.
"France must surely put Mistral Russia. What is happening now with this contract cannot be called other than stupidity. As with all these penalties against Russia, " said Dumas, who is quoted by a news Agency." Russia is a great world power, it cannot be ignored. France signed the agreement. The signature under the contract, in whatever sphere he was not, means that we must deliver, or otherwise, to pay for the failure of consensus, " said the politician." Contract were established delivery dates. Now France must either pay the fine or to put Russia ships. Other options could not be ", - noticed Roland Dumas. Before the first day of the week the head of the Ministry of defense Jean-Yves Le Drian said that the question of the supply of Russia's helicopter carrier type "Mistral" is not on the agenda. Remember, the head of the French Republic Francois Hollande after held in Minsk summit on the situation in Ukraine, said that the rules for the transmission of the first Russian Mistral is still not done. February 12, French foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said that the implementation of the Treaty between Russia and France on the production and delivery of helicopter carrier type "Mistral" still on time stopped, despite the positive results of the meeting in Minsk. France built by the order of Russia two Mistral. One of the helicopter carrier is ready for transfer, but France has suspended the supply of provisions in Ukraine. In the case of final refusal to supply Moscow two Mistral France will have to pay Russia about 3 billion euros. Russia has already prepared all the documents for submission to the court of France. As said defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, paid by France compensation for breach of contract will be sent to the program of rearmament of the Russian army. At the same time, according to the editor of "national defense" Igor Korotchenko, a political decision of the leadership of France provided for in the contract at Mistral in the form of force majeure releasing the French side from the payment of any penalties.
