Moscow-Sana
Today, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reiterated his country's condemnation of Washington's tightening of the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed on Cuba, stressing Moscow's readiness to continue providing the necessary support to Havana.
Lavrov said in an interview with the Cuban agency (Prensa Latina): We strongly condemn this inhuman and illegal policy of Washington .. All pressure measures taken against Havana restrict the inalienable natural rights not only of Cuban citizens but also the rights of American citizens, as they are completely illegal and violate in a way. Blatant basic principles of the UN Charter.
Lavrov reiterated Russia's constant readiness to provide the necessary support to his country's strategic partner, Cuba.
Last May, the administration of US President Donald Trump returned Cuba to the list of countries that do not fully cooperate with its efforts to combat terrorism, in a new escalation of tension between the two countries.
Washington has imposed an economic, commercial and financial blockade on Cuba since 1962 due to its policies rejecting the attempts of American unilateralism and hegemony, which is the longest blockade in modern history.
