Russia May Put Troops in Venezuela and Cuba if US Tensions Continue. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who headed Jan. 10’s talks with U.S. officials in Geneva, said he could neither “confirm nor exclude” the possibility of a Russian military build-up within the borders of Cuba and Venezuela if tensions continue with the United States over Ukraine.

Ryabkov’s statement adds pressure to existing tensions with the West over the presence of Russian troops near the Ukraine border, which prompted a high stakes meeting with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on Jan. 12 in Vienna.

Putin’s government demanded a cessation of NATO’s expansion, which was promptly rejected by the United States and its Western allies. {loadpositionSubscribe}

Nor did the press care at all, who dedicated themselves to accusing the young people of Vanguardia who were protecting the march and did not give an account of the real attacks on the people.
