Russia is evaluating its options for providing aid to Cuba to alleviate the dire situation facing the Caribbean nation. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
During his regular exchange with journalists this Friday, Peskov reaffirmed that Moscow maintains “continuous communication” with Cuban leaders. Also whom he described as “friends.”
“Indeed, we are discussing with them options for providing aid to Cuba in the thorny situation it faces,” he added. Previously, the spokesman described the embargo imposed on Cuba by its northern neighbor as “suffocating.”
On January 29th, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order. Allowing tariffs to be imposed on imports from countries that supply oil to Cuba.
He also declared a national emergency due to an alleged Cuban threat to US national security.
The Cuban government asserts that with this “energy blockade,” the United States seeks to strangle the Caribbean nation’s economy. Make living conditions intolerable for its people.
President Miguel Díaz-Canel declared last Friday that the country has gone three months without receiving oil from abroad. Which has worsened the existing energy crisis. With prolonged blackouts and recurring collapses of the national power grid.
