Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov warned that a Russian military deployment in Cuba and Venezuela cannot be ruled out if tensions with the United States increase.
Ryabkov, who led the Russian delegation to Monday’s negotiations in Geneva, said he could neither confirm nor exclude the possibility of Russia establishing military infrastructure in Cuba and Venezuela.
The talks in Geneva and Wednesday’s meeting between Russia and NATO in Vienna have failed to reduce disagreements over Russian security demands, while Russia maintains troops mobilized near Ukraine.
In an interview with the Russian television station RTVI, Ryabkov pointed out that “it all depends on the actions of our American counterparts”, noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that Russia it could take military-technical measures if the United States acts to provoke Russia and increase military pressure.
Ryabkov said that U.S and the OTAN They have rejected Moscow’s main claim, a guarantee that the alliance will not expand to Ukraine and other former Soviet nations, adding that the wide differences in the strategies of the two sides cast doubt on the continuation of the talks.
