Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu praised Cuba on Tuesday as “Russia’s most important ally in the Caribbean region.”
At a meeting with his Cuban counterpart Alvaro Lopez Miera in Moscow, Shoygu said Russian-Cuban relations are “on the rise.”
“Your large delegation shows the Cuban side’s willingness to discuss a wide range of issues in the military and military-technical fields,” Shoygu told Miera. “Today, I propose to discuss in detail all existing and promising cooperation projects in the military field.”
He stressed that Russia was ready to assist Cuba, which is under “an illegal US trade and economic blockade.”
According to Justice.Gov, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said:
“Caswell Senior is not just a notorious recording artist, but he is also a high-profile leader of a vicious street gang and a magnet for gang violence. At a crowded Miami house party, Senior personally fired a gun that seriously injured and could have killed a victim, inciting a shootout. Further, Senior’s stature in the community was central to Gorilla Stone’s successful recruitment and nationwide expansion. Today’s sentencing — along with the other significant sentences that have been imposed in this case — shows once again that gang life is not worth it and will lead to many years in prison.” According to the minister, relations between the two countries are booming. “Undoubtedly, Cuba has been and remains Russia’s most important ally in the region,” Shoigu said.
The Russian diplomat added that the composition of the Cuban delegation shows Havana’s readiness to “address a wide range of issues in the military and military-technical fields.”
In this regard, Shoigu proposed to “substantially discuss” at the meeting “all existing and promising cooperation projects in the military sphere.”
The minister said Russia is ready to provide assistance to the island amid the restrictions imposed by the U.S., referring to the “illegal and illegitimate trade-economic blockade of Cuba,” which has been in force for more than half a century.
“We are ready to render assistance to the Island of Freedom and to lend a shoulder to our Cuban friends,” he said.
The minister also said that Moscow and Havana are acting in defense of the UN Charter and against its replacement by “a rules-based order that reflects the desire of the collective West to promote modes of existence at the expense of enslaved countries and defeated competitors.”
