As far as Paris is concerned, Russia’s support of armed proxies in Ukraine and the ensuing destruction of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 is no obstacle to delivery of the first of two French-built Mistral-class ships . And, for the moment, options on the delivery of the Vladivostok’s sister ship next year remain open, subject to Russian behaviour. Which raises the question of how bad Moscow’s behaviour has to become force a cancellation.
就法国而言,俄罗斯对其在乌克兰的武装代理人的支持,以及接下来的马来西亚航空公司(Malaysia Airlines) MH17航班被击落事件,都不构成法国向俄罗斯交付两艘“西北风”级(Mistral-class)攻击舰中的第一艘——“符拉迪沃斯托克”号(Vladivostok)——的障碍。而对于明年是否向俄罗斯交付该舰的姊妹舰,法国眼下仍有选择,这取决于俄罗斯的行为。这就引发了下列问题:俄罗斯的行为糟糕到何种程度会迫使法国取消交付。
