Russia to France: We'll take $1.32 billion instead of those warships

Russia wants $1.32 billion (1.163 billion euros) from France in compensation for canceling a contract to deliver two Mistral helicopter carriers, a Russian source close to the negotiations said on Friday.

French President Francois Holland has come under pressure from his Western allies not to deliver the Mistrals because of Russia's role in the Ukraine crisis.

He discussed the 2011 contract, worth 1.19 billion euros, with Russian President Vladimir Putin last month, and Moscow has said it is willing to accept financial compensation if Paris does not fulfill the deal.

The source said Russia was eyeing 1.163 billion euros, confirming a report Friday by the Russian daily Kommersant, which also said Paris was offering to pay 785 million euros.

"The 1.163 billion euros figure is a touch below the value of the contract," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The source added that while Russia had not paid all of the contract's value, it had incurred additional expenses on personnel training and organizing production of parts for the vessel in Russia, among other outgoings.

The spokesman for the Kremlin reiterated on Friday that Russia was ready to accept financial compensation if France cancels the delivery and added that the issue was not a major headache in relations between the two countries.

"The principle is the following — either the goods or the money," the spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters, adding that Putin and Hollande had agreed to this basic approach.

Peskov did not comment on the details of the Kommersant report, which also said France wanted to resell the two Mistrals before compensating Russia while Moscow wanted to see the money before a third country gets the vessels.

"Both Mistral helicopter carriers were built for the Russian navy, for our helicopters, our control systems, our infrastructure. These vessels cannot be given away to some third country now under any circumstances; this is a matter of state security," Russia's Interfax news agency quoted senior defense ministry official Yury Yakubov as saying.

Speaking separately in Belgrade on Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia and France had agreed a basis for settling the dispute and that it was now being dealt with on a "legal and commercial" level.

Rosoboronexport, Russia's state-owned arms exporting firm, which signed the contract for the two Mistrals in 2011, declined to comment.

This is what can happen if you submit your foreign policy to a fake ally. This has cost France some 1.32 Billions fined by Russia and another 1 billion in constructing those ships.

For the French
"You all are fighting for a nation which will not care for you in your time of need."

USA till now never had fought for anyone else other than itself. And this record will be the same.

Russia loses time and money
France loses time and money and business opportunities.
U.S.A wins.

Great "allies" you got there france.

Hi
Sir world war1 and world war 2 both prove my points.
In the first ww, USA joined the allies because a German U boat sank a cruise ship in North Atlantic carrying Americans.
In ww2 Americans aha I ed joined the allies when they were attacked by the Japanese. If the regime's of Germany and Japan would have been sensible, USA would have remained away, at least officially and directly.
Also I never said that they saved our a$$, both wars had no relation to us. We just jumped into them due to our masters. Also if the Germans and Japanese would not have provoked USA, they wouldn't have come out for support to France and allies.
Cheers
Thanks

Well since WW2 is entirely is fake it must be a conspiracy by someone.
And as we all know the Yahoodis are an expert at such, as they control all the banks in the world, thereby controlling all governments, who control all our minds (and therefore shopping habits) along with Hollywood; it must be them.
What do you say?

 

[black-hawk_101]

I am 100% sure IN will buy and will place an order for another 4 of them too.

Hi
It is very unlikely. Because Indian Navy wants conventional propeller shafts in its Amphibious assaults ships. But these two are built with Azimuthal Thrusters. So a strict NO untill the French give us more than 50% dicount. Indian Navy would have bought them till now if they met it's requirements.

THANKS

If you read the history then you will not comments like that. US was involved all these war from the beginning and they supply military hardware and logistics support to all the allied forces and earn money and technology from them + they also supply trained soldiers and Pilots to allied forces and many books were written in these topics. After direct attack to US they decided to take part in war on official level.
