Sputnik: Russia Remains Open About Military Deployment to Cuba and Venezuela Amid Security Guarantee Impasse 

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Thursday that he will not confirm or deny anything regarding the possibility of the deployment of Russian military infrastructure in Cuba and Venezuela.  

"I don't want to confirm anything, I won't rule anything out either", Ryabkov told RTVI. 

He noted that the possibility of such options depends on Washington's response to Russia's security guarantees.

The deputy minister stressed that President Putin had already described what the Russian Navy can do if the US continues to provoke Moscow, but also stated that a diplomatic solution would be preferable.
