Cuban president tells NBC he won't resign under US pressure, as Russia backs old ally
"We have a free sovereign state, a free state. We have self-determination and independence, and we are not subjected to the designs of the United States."
"The US government that has implemented that hostile policy against Cuba has no moral to demand anything from Cuba."
"Moscow had no intention of walking away from its interests in the western hemisphere no matter what the US might say."
"We cannot betray Cuba. That is out of the question. We cannot leave it on its own."
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel stated he will not resign due to US pressure, emphasizing Cuba's sovereignty and self-determination. He criticized the US for its hostile policies and oil blockade against Cuba, which has led to an energy crisis. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov reaffirmed Russia's commitment to Cuba, stating that Moscow will not abandon its ally and will continue to support Cuba amid US sanctions. Ryabkov indicated that Russia's assistance would extend beyond recent oil shipments.
