MOSCOW, Aug. 16 (UPI) -- Russian are right to fear the possible opening of new U.S. military bases in Central Europe, a prominent Duma member said Monday.
Russians have serious reasons to fear that the United States may open new military bases in the former Soviet satellite nations of Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania, Konstantin Kosachyov, chairman of the State Duma International Commission told Ekho Moskvy Radio Monday.
"Our worries are founded," Kosyachov said about rumors that new U.S. bases might soon be opened in the four nations that used to be members of the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact, according to a report carried by the Interfax news agency.
"The Americans say that is being done for the anti-terrorist fight and the bases will be targeted southward," Kosachyov said., "But while the deployment of military bases in Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania is the southeastern movement, a military base in Poland is the movement to the east."
