Russian PM: US Embargo on Cuba ‘Outrage’

During a trip to Cuba, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev criticized US sanctions against the Latin American country and urged their removal.  “We’re not changing our position, we think this is a complete outrage, an anachronism,” Medvedev was cited as saying in an interview to Cuban media published on Saturday. “The faster it is removed, the better for everybody, not just Cubans, but Americans as well,” the prime minister said of the US embargo. Medvedev visited Cuba, Russia’s ally from Soviet times, for talks with the country’s leadership. During his Latin American tour, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev announced a $35 billion debt writeoff for Cuba and prepared a historic military contract with Brazil.
