Russia condemns the issuance of an arrest warrant for Raul Castro in the United States

Russia strongly condemns the issuance of an arrest warrant by a judge in the United States for the historic leader of Cuba, Raul Castro, and warns that a further escalation of the situation around Cuba threatens to destabilize the entire region, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. "The issuance of an arrest warrant by a judge in Miami (USA) for Cuba's historic leader, Army General Raul Castro, is roundly rejected and strongly condemned," the statement said. "We want to emphasize that a further escalation of the situation surrounding the freedom of the island, which is currently going through extremely difficult times related to an unprecedented blockade in the trade, economic, financial and energy fields, could lead to destabilization of the situation in the entire Latin American and Caribbean region," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
