No Mistrals for Putin is a non political activist group and none of its actions can be endorsed by any political party
Dear Friends, We were a very small group of French people, based in Nantes, Dublin and Kyiv. We started to alert the world opinion about Mistrals at the end of February 2014. In France, nobody used to care about this deal that was supposed to create jobs and deliver vessels with no military resources. These vessels were supposed to be some kind of ferry boats or floating hospital. We knew they were war ships that could be used for invasion. We knew they were the best tool for Russia in order to keep control of Crimea. We knew they would be a serious threat for many countries of the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. We remember our first messages to Ukrainian people. They could not believe what we were saying: France selling invasion war ships to Putin, Ukraine's invader??? Eventually, we were lucky enough to have some great people following us from the beginning and spread the word. All together we succeeded in step one: alert public opinion and create international movements. All t
