Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Snip:

Russia strongly condemns the US move to harden sanctions against Cuba and believes they are absolutely unacceptable, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement.

"We reiterate our position: Any manifestations of unilateral sanctions against sovereign independent countries in violation of the UN Charter, universally recognized norms and principles of international law are categorically unacceptable to us," the diplomat said. "We firmly reject prohibitive measures against Havana. We regard any elements of pressure on the Cuban government and citizens of this country as absolutely unacceptable and illegal. We are confident that despite any US interference, Cuba will continue to steadily develop its foreign economic ties."

According to Zakharova, Russia will continue to strengthen multifaceted interaction with Cuban friends in the spirit of close relations of strategic partnership.

"We will expand our political cooperation, deepen practical interaction in the interests of social and economic development, intensify bilateral contacts in the widest range of areas," she said. "We are confident that the US sanctions policy against Cuba, as before, is doomed to fail."
