Russia on Cuba: violence should not be used against heads of state
We believe that under no circumstances should such methods — methods of violence - be used against former or current heads of state," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti agency.
The Kremlin said on Thursday that it did not approve of the pressure the United States was exerting on Cuba and said that violence should not be used against heads of state under any circumstances. The United States announced murder charges against former President Raúl Castro on Wednesday, a major escalation in Washington's campaign against Cuba, where Castro's communists have been in charge since his late brother Fidel Castro led a revolution in 1959.
"We believe that the pressure being exerted on Cuba cannot be condoned. We believe that under no circumstances should such methods — methods of violence - be used against former or current heads of state," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti agency. "We do not approve of it," he added.
