France suspended the delivery of the first of two Mistral warships to Russia, saying that Russia’s actions in eastern Ukraine go against the interests of European security.
The decision, announced after a national security meeting at French President Francois Hollande’s Elysee Palace in Paris today, was made on the eve of a two-day NATO leaders’ summit in the U.K. starting tomorrow that will be dominated by responses to the conflict in Ukraine.
