MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia has reached a provisional agreement with Cuba to reopen a big Soviet-era base on the Caribbean island from which it once spied in the United States, a Russian security source said on Wednesday.

The move comes as U.S.-Russian relations have reached a post-Cold War low in a dispute over Ukraine.
