Moscow, Feb 11 - Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed today that his country is analyzing possible actions to support Cuba in the face of the suffocating measures imposed by the United States.
"We are in contact with our Cuban friends. Cuba is unfortunately far from us, it is not easy to reach there, but even so, we will discuss with the Cubans possible ways to provide assistance," the Kremlin spokesman emphasized to the press, without giving details on the type of assistance being considered from the Eurasian giant.
Likewise, Peskov added that, in Moscow's opinion, Havana faces serious difficulties due to the hostile actions of the United States government, which is strangling the Caribbean nation.
"The problem there is not fuel. The problem there is the United States blockade. I do not think it is right for one country to strangle another and its people," he stated.
In that context, the spokesman noted that when there is no fuel to deliver medicines, when there is no fuel to urgently transport patients by air, that is something very bad.
Previously, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov denounced the neocolonial postures of pressure that Washington imposes against Havana and Caracas, and reaffirmed Russia's solidarity with the peoples of both nations.
"The fight against any neocolonial practice, from unilateral coercive measures to military interventions, remains in our focus. In this context, we confirm solidarity with the peoples of Venezuela and Cuba," the chancellor stated.
On January 29, United States President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring a national emergency in the face of the alleged unusual and extraordinary threat that, according to Washington, Cuba supposedly represents for the security of the North American country and the region.
The text accuses the Cuban government of aligning itself with numerous hostile countries, harboring transnational terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, and allowing the deployment on the island of sophisticated military and intelligence capabilities from Russia and China.
In the face of these unfounded accusations, the president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, affirmed that this new measure evidences the fascist, criminal, and genocidal nature of a clique that has hijacked the interests of the American people for purely personal purposes. (Text and photo: PL)
