French President Francois Hollande’s office announced the suspension “until further notice” after growing pressure from allies due to tensions over Russia’s actions in Ukraine. The decision exposes France to eventual fines for not fulfilling the contract.
The Vladivostok, meant for delivery this month, is docked at the French port city of Saint Nazaire, where about 400 Russian sailors have spent months training aboard the vessel.
