Russia and Nicaragua have been continuing to profound their bilateral relations since 2007, just as they had been doing it historically between 1979 and 1990. Russia has also military-faced plans in relation with Nicaragua, in order to create a geopolitical pressure toward the United States by having nuclear weapons at the shore of the Central American country. In consequence, Nicaragua is highly dependent on Russian import, as in 2019 it uses almost exclusively Russian technology in its army. This small Latin-American state is in the focus in the Russian foreign policy in Latin America, next to the other two main allies, Venezuela and Cuba. Putin’s government provides also financial aid to Nicaragua in order to gain its political support in the international community. This cooperation seems to be constant as far as Daniel Ortega remains in power. In spite of the fact, that the political and military cooperation is tight between the two states, we cannot talk about significant ethnic of cultural ties.
