Russia has no plans to build a military base in Cuba, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday.

Lavrov said that a Russian military base in Cuba was “out of question,” but ships of the Russian Navy, performing tasks all over the world, require support facilities to meet their basic needs.

“Making a port call, replenishing supplies, giving the crew a rest is an absolutely natural need. We have discussed such possibilities with our Cuban friends,” he said.
