France suspended the first of two controversial Mistral-class warship deliveries to Russia on the 3 September 2014, saying 'conditions' were not in place as the crisis in Ukraine deepens. The announcement came a day before the start of a NATO summit in Wales, 4-5 September 2014 and after months of pressure on France from her allies to suspend the sale amid tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
