Russian missiles in Cuba will be a response to Ukraine's accession to NATO
Moscow
Russia has more than one option to respond to Ukraine’s potential entry into the North Atlantic Alliance.
Military observer Viktor Baranets writes about this in Komsomolskaya Pravda, as reported by PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to him, Washington and NATO understand that Ukraine becoming NATO's 31st member is the "red line" that Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about, "crossing which will result in the bloc receiving an adequate response."
“There are many options. Up to the return of the military base to Cuba, for example. The missiles fly from Kharkov to Moscow in only 7 minutes... And the newest Russian hypersonic missile “Zircon” flies at a speed of 11 thousand kilometers per hour. And the distance from Cuba to the United States is only 180 kilometers,” the author recalls.
“And most importantly, NATO will have to play with Moscow on a field that is more familiar (yes, it’s practically “home”!) for the Russians and alien, “discomfortable” for the Americans and Western Europeans. Is NATO sure this is what it wants? And do people in Washington and Brussels know the old saying “Kyiv is the mother of Russian cities”? We can remind you,” Baranets sums up.
As PolitNavigator reported, NATO will continue to use Ukraine, but without obligations.
