MOSCOW — France has reimbursed Russia for two warships that were never delivered after economic sanctions imposed against Russia last year blocked the deal.

Russia annexed Crimea, a peninsula in Ukraine last year, an act that drew international condemnation and prompted economic sanctions from the United States and Europe. The two Mistral warships, built to carry helicopters and sold to Russia in 2011, were casualties.

On Wednesday, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia spoke with his French counterpart, François Hollande, by phone and they later released statements acknowledging that the deal had collapsed and that Russia had been fully reimbursed. They did not say how much money Russia received. Previous reports in the Russian news media put the sum at about $1.3 billion.

“France has already transferred these funds,” the Kremlin news service said in a statement on its website. “Moscow considers the Mistral question completely resolved.”
