Daily Mail: Putin offered to restore the military base in Cuba
According to him, Moscow must "resolutely respond to the deployment of US missile systems on the border of Russia."
Later, the head of the same committee, Viktor Bondarev, repeated the call, adding that "Russia should consider rebuilding the Russian military base in Vietnam."
The author recalls that the Russian base was deployed on the Isle of Freedom in the Havana area in 1962 - “it was then that the Caribbean missile crisis broke out that almost led to a nuclear war. The Soviet base in Cuba was the largest of its kind. ”
The base was closed in 2002 year. Vladimir Putin decided that its service was too expensive for Russia, which by that time had begun to allocate significant funds for the development of a group of reconnaissance satellites.
Bondarev also called for the restoration of a military presence in Asia.
