French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on Monday that Paris will
consider canceling the 1.2-billion-euro deal if Moscow provokes further
escalation in Ukraine.
The remarks came after the US and EU imposed sanctions on senior
Russian officials following a referendum in Ukraine's Crimea in which
voters overwhelmingly supported secession and reunification with Russia.
“Either stick to your contract obligations and deliver the warships
in time, or return the money and parts of these warships’ hulls,
assembled at our Baltiysky Zavod [shipyard],” said Dmitry Rogozin, a
deputy premier in charge of the defense industry.
A source in Russia’s United Shipbuilding Corporation told RIA Novosti
on the condition of anonymity that France will also have to pay huge
penalties if it chooses to unilaterally terminate the contract.
Under a June 2011 contract signed between Russia and France, the
first French Mistral-class amphibious assault ship, named Vladivostok,
will be delivered to Russia by the year-end, while the second warship,
the Sevastopol, is due to arrive in 2015.
The ships are capable of carrying 16 helicopters, four landing craft,
70 armored vehicles, and 450 soldiers and are expected to be deployed
with Russia’s Pacific Fleet.
