Russia Vows ‘all Possible Assistance’ To Cuba As Washington Moves To Starve Island
Washington has cut off oil and fuel ships to Cuba, claiming the small Caribbean nation poses a ‘national security threat’ to the US
The US is “strangling” Cuba, Russia warned on 9 February, stressing that the Kremlin is looking for ways to assist the island nation to withstand Washington’s intensified blockade.
“The situation in Cuba is indeed critical … We are aware of this, and we maintain close contact with our Cuban friends through diplomatic and other channels,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday.
He added that “the stranglehold imposed by the United States is already causing a lot of difficulties for Cuba,” noting that Moscow and Havana are discussing “possible ways to resolve these problems or at least provide all possible assistance.”
After abducting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and taking control of that country’s oil production, US President Donald Trump and his advisors have turned to fomenting regime change in Cuba.
“THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA – ZERO!” Trump wrote on his social media platform on 11 January, adding, “I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.”
