The state Department was not surprised by the initiative of the Russian Parliament to return the base to Cuba

The U.S. Department of state representative heather nauert said that "Not surprised" by the initiative of Russian lawmakers who offered to return its military bases in cuba and vietnam, according to RIA Novosti. I first heard about it from you. It wouldn't surprise me, this is my own opinion. I'm not going to speculate (on this subject), said nauert, responding to a question. Earlier, the head of the defense committee of the federation council viktor bondarev said that the Russian military base in cuba in the face of rising us aggression would be in the interests of safety. I believe that the increased tension in the world, blatant interference in the internal affairs of the countries – historical partners of Russia does not exclude our return to latin america.

Of course, this must be agreed with the cubans, he said. In addition, according to bondarev, Russia should also think about the return of the navy in vietnam. The same opinion and deputy head of the defense committee of the federation council frants klintsevich.
