The Ministry of Foreign Affairs saw the UN General Assembly's decision as the world community's condemnation of the American embargo against Cuba.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the UN General Assembly's adoption of the resolution "the need to end the economic, trade and financial blockade imposed by the US on Cuba" confirms the condemnation of this blockade by the world community. "Despite the pressure and blackmail, the results of the expression of will reaffirmed the almost unanimous strong condemnation by the global community of the inhumane and inhumane embargo against Havana," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement published Thursday on the department's website.
