The deputy director general of the U.S. Directorate of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, Johana Tablada, described as genocidal the inclusion of Cuba in the unilateral list of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism.
In an interview granted to the Cuban News Channel, the diplomat explained that the recent exclusion of the island from a list of nations that “do not fully cooperate in the fight against terrorism” does not mean its elimination from the general list of the State Department that imposes measures against this Caribbean country.
That unilateral measure constitutes one of the main genocidal tools of the White House to asphyxiate the Cuban people, and it persists, in spite of the fact that more and more voices are being raised against such injustice, she pointed out.
She affirmed that Washington uses the presence of Cuba in such a list as a justification for the unilateral coercive measures derived from them, which are associated with the purpose of asphyxiating the Island’s economy and holding the Government responsible for their impact.
She also pointed out that the U.S. Executive is simultaneously promoting a well-financed systematic communicational operation, in the mainstream press and digital platforms, to hold the victim country responsible for the impact of these inhumane measures, which significantly affect the population.

As a token of the friendly relations and collaboration with Cuba, a naval detachment from the Russian Federation arrived yesterday at the port of Havana.
The grouping, composed of the frigate Gorshkov; the nuclear-powered submarine Kazan; the fleet oil tanker Pashin; and the salvage tug Nikolai Chiker, will be anchored in the capital until June 17.
Upon their arrival, 21 salvos were fired from one of the visiting ships, as a salute to the nation, which were reciprocated by an artillery battery of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, from the San Carlos de La Cabaña Fortress.
“None of the ships are nuclear weapons carriers”, stated the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, which also informed that today and Saturday 15, the population will be able to visit the vessels.
The reception was presided over by flotilla captain José Luis Souto Galindo, second in command of the Revolutionary Navy, and by Viktor Koronelli, Russian ambassador.
