MOSCOW, October 21. /TASS/. NATO countries may deploy in Ukraine their missile bases disguised as training centers, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a session of the international Valdai Discussion Club on Thursday.

He recalled that Ukraine’s Constitution prohibited the deployment of foreign military bases in the national territory, but there was no ban on training centers.

"It is possible to create anything in this disguise," he warned. "What if missiles are stationed near Kharkov some day? What shall we do about this?" he added.
