The Russian Federation has fulfilled all terms of the agreement. And
even more. I shut down not only the Cuban Lourdes but also Kamran in
Vietnam. I shut them down because I gave my word of honor. I, like a
man, has kept my word. What have the Americans done? The Americans are
not responsible for their own words. It is no secret that in recent
years, the U.S. created a buffer zone around Russia, involving in this
process not only the countries of Central Europe, but also the Baltic
states, Ukraine and the Caucasus. The only response to this could be an
asymmetric expansion of the Russian military presence abroad,
particularly in Cuba. In Cuba, there are convenient bays for our
reconnaissance and warships, a network of the so-called "jump
airfields." With the full consent of the Cuban leadership, on May 11 of
this year, our country has not only resumed work in the electronic
center of Lourdes, but also placed the latest mobile strategic nuclear
missiles "Oak" on the island. They did not want to do it the amicable
way, now let them deal with this," Putin said.
