MOSCOW, July 24: Russia said on Thursday it had no plans to open any military bases abroad and denied a newspaper report that it might deploy nuclear-capable bombers in Cuba in retaliation to a planned U.S. missile shield in Europe.
“Russia, guided by its peaceful policy, is not creating military bases at the borders of other states,” Russian news agencies quoted Ilshat Baichurin, acting head of the Russian Defence Ministry’s information department, as saying.—Reuters
