法国向俄延迟交付两艘西北风战舰第一艘的决定表现出了巴黎对美国外交手段的顺从，法国国民阵线领导人玛丽勒庞表示。俄罗斯仍然认为法国会履行合同。
France says it cannot deliver Mistral warship to Russia over Ukraine
"This decision is very serious, firstly because it runs contrary to the interests of the country and shows our obedience of American diplomacy," Le Pen told France’s RTL radio.
法国说因为乌克兰不能向俄交付战舰。
“这个决定非常严重，首先这违背了国家的利益而且表现出了我们对美国外交手段的顺从”，勒庞对法国RTL电台表达。
She added that suspension of Mistral warships is also serious “for the reputation of France and the value of its word in trade relations.”
她又补充延暂停交付战舰也对“法国的声誉以及其在贸易关系中的价值承诺”有非常严重的影响。
“It will have a huge cost: four months of employment in Saint-Nazaire [where Mistral vessels are under construction], millions of working hours,” Le Pen added, “The delay will cause a fine of 5 to 10 billion euro.”
“这将带来巨大的损失：4个月的工作，上百万的工时”，勒庞补充”延迟交付会带来50至100亿欧元的罚款。“
On Wednesday France suspended delivery of the first of two Mistral helicopter carrier ships to Russia because of events in eastern Ukraine.
“The situation is serious. Russia’s recent actions in the east of Ukraine contravene the fundamental principles of European security,” said a statement from the office of President Francois Hollande.
The French president later said that the conditions for delivering Mistral to Russia are ceasefire in Ukraine and political settlement of the conflict, Reuters reported.

The two ships were commissioned by Russia in 2011 at a cost of $1.6 billion. The first of these, the Vladivostok, was due to come into service at the end of this year, with the second, the Sevastopol, is due to be completed in 2015.
这两艘战舰由俄罗斯委托订造总共花费16亿欧元。第一搜应于今年年底投入使用，第二艘于2015年完成。
Other French opposition representatives criticized the decision of French government, saying that a possible suspension of the Mistral helicopter carriers will disrepute France as trading partner.
其他的法国反对派代表批评法国政府这一决定，说暂停交付战舰会让法国这一贸易伙伴身份蒙羞。
“Suspension of delivering the Mistral [ships] would be suicidal for the credibility and reliability of the French arms industry,” wrote Thierry Mariani, a member of the Union for a Popular Movement on Twitter.
暂停交付战舰对法国军工业信的信誉度和可靠度无异于自杀”， 一位人民运动联盟的成员在推特中写道。

“It is a reaction of bewilderment and scandal,” said Jean-Marc Perez, Assistant Secretary from STX Europe.
“这是对困惑和愤怒的正常反应”，STX造船公司欧洲部的助理秘书佩雷斯说。
According to Perez, this is “another demonstration that the decisions taken by the government have consequences for employees."
根据佩雷所说这是“又一个政府做决定而员工承担后果的证明”。
"If the president*s announcement concludes with suspending of the construction, it would create difficulties for hundreds of jobs... This is unacceptable, intolerable," he added.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the minister of vocational education, said that Hollande had “committed an intolerable betrayal.”
让卢克，职业教育部长说奥朗德”犯下的不能忍受的背叛“。
The president had submitted France to “the hands of the USA and NATO war policy,” he said.总统让法国屈服于”美国和北约的战争策略手段“，他说。
Philippe Marini, a member of the Senate of France the Union for a Popular Movement also slammed the suspension of the Mistral delivery to Russia, saying that it “is evidence of ‘servility’ of the current [French] government to the United States.”
Another representative of the Union of Popular Movement, Joëlle Garriaud-Maylam, said that France“should respect the contracts which were signed.”
“France capitulated under pressure from the United States. If [Charles] de Gaulle [the leader of Free France during World War II] saw that!" complained Lionnel Luca and Jean-François Mancel from the union.
The majority of the readers of French Le Figaro newspaper believe that French government is wrong to suspend the delivery of the ships to Russia.
The poll asked: “Is the French government right in suspending Mistral ships to Russia?” Seventy-three percent of respondents answered “No.”

Meanwhile, The Russian Defense Ministry said it hasn’t received any official notification from Paris that France has suspended the Mistral helicopter carrier ships deal with Moscow.
“The French side currently hasn’t officially presented its position concerning the suspension of the contract, that’s why the fulfillment of our duties is going ahead without any changes,” deputy head of the ministry Yury Borisov told RIA Novosti.
According to Borisov, Russia doesn’t see “much tragedy in the situation about the [Mistral] contract” and“Russia’s position will be made according to international law.”
He added that French contractors are interested in cooperation with Russia as Moscow “has many other projects with them,” he added.
