There is a possibility that the Russian Navy will return to Cuba, said political scientist Yuri Svetov, commenting on the information about the possible deployment of Russian missiles in this country. This possibility began to be discussed after the publication by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, of a photograph of the ex-leader of Cuba, Raul Castro, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
As Knutov recalled, it was Raul Castro who initiated the establishment of relations with the Soviet Union. He convinced the government that the USSR could be a natural ally of Cuba, the expert said on air Channel Five. The first secretary of the Leningrad regional party committee was responsible for contacts with Cuba Grigory Romanov. Cooperation was carried out through Raul Castro.
“Therefore, in this case, this is a kind of baton that is passed from Raul, who formally retired from business to the current leader of Cuba … I think that the issue of returning, to one degree or another, the Russian Navy to Cuba was discussed, and such a reality exists, ” Svetov said.
