France Russia is ready to pay money if you do not provide the Mistral. Such a declaration fell during the visit of President of Ukraine in Paris.

 

At a press conference after the meeting with Petr Poroshenko Francois Hollande declared that every possibility for Mistral is taken into account. The French leader said that in a political context associated with the conflict in Ukraine and the role that it plays in Russia, France does not take into account the possibility of transferring Moscow two ultra-modern amphibious helikopterowców for offensive operations.

The contract for the delivery of two ships of this type amounts to one billion two hundred thousand euros. The vast majority of French public opinion is behind this, to Paris gave Mistral Moscow, according to the contract, regardless of its participation in the Ukrainian crisis. Commentators point out that withholding the delivery of these ships meant that Poland favorably looked at buying in France modern Airbus military transport helicopters.
