PARIS, April 22 (UPI) -- France is considering different scenarios to refund Russia's payment for undelivered warships, French President François Hollande said Wednesday.
Hollande will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Armenia. Discussions will involve, in part, two Mistral-class ships under construction in France and paid for by Russia. Hollande suspended delivery of the ships in September, when the first was completed, noting Russian military strength should not be increased at a time of rising tensions over Russian involvement in Ukraine.
