MOSCOW. March 18 (Interfax-AVN) - France is undermining trust in itself with the statements on sanctions in military and technical cooperation sector, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said.
"France is starting to undermine trust in itself as a reliable supplier in the very sensitive sector of military and technical cooperation. All these political waves concerning the referendum in Crimea will pass soon and our countries are to work together in the future," Rogozin posted on his Twitter account.
"Probably, our colleague is not aware of the number of jobs created in France thanks to our partnership. I am asking European colleagues not to escalate the situation," Rogozin said in response to the statement of French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius saying that France could cancel the deal on supplying the Mistral helicopter-carrying vessels in the framework of the third wave of sanctions against Russia.
