French President says he will broach frozen Mistral deal with Putin

PanARMENIAN.Net - French President Francois Hollande said on Wednesday, April 22, he would broach all aspects of a frozen deal to sell Mistral helicopter carriers to Russia when he meets Vladimir Putin later this week but that a delivery was not possible in current conditions, Reuters reported.

Hollande was speaking after a Paris meeting with Ukraine leader Petro Poroshenko. Paris suspended the Mistral sale after Europe decided to impose sanctions against Russia over the conflict in neighboring Ukraine.
