The UK is closely following Russia’s actions in Latin American countries, and Moscow’s increased presence in the region is a “serious concern.” This was stated by British Deputy Secretary of Defense James Hippie in an interview with the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Broadcast was conducted on YouTube.
The hippie called Russia’s presence in the region “undeniable” and said Moscow’s actions “mean.”
What weapons and why can Russia deploy in Cuba
The deployment of Russian troops in Cuba was allowed by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov. He said that Moscow could send its military to Cuba and Venezuela, but the final decision on this issue, he pointed out, depends on “the actions of American colleagues.” The diplomat clarified that they could talk about “measures along the lines of the Russian-naval navy” and recalled that President Vladimir Putin had already spoken about this before.
American presidential adviser Jake Sullivan said at the time that the United States would “determinedly deal with this” if they saw any Russian movement in this direction. US State Department spokesman Ned Price called the statements of the Russian side on this topic “empty threats.” “If we see any movement in this direction, our response will be swift and decisive,” he warned.
