This time, Riccardo Cabrisas, Deputy Head of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Island of Freedom, arrived in Moscow. He met with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

Sergei Shoigu and Cuban Deputy Prime Minister Riccardo Cabrisas discussed military-technical cooperation between the countries


Ministry of Defense of Russia quotes Sergei Shoigu:
A strong impetus to strengthening bilateral ties was given by the meetings of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Cuban State Council Chairman Raul Castro in July 2014 in Havana and in September 2015 in New York within the 70 jubilee UN General Assembly. The implementation of the Russian-Cuban agreements reached is our priority. My visit to Havana in February of this year confirmed the general desire to expand large-scale defense partnerships.


Shoigu announced the possibility of increasing cooperation in the naval sphere.

Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation:
A separate article is our military-technical cooperation, which is also developing quite actively and is dynamic and positive. We will talk about this during the work of the commission on military-technical cooperation.


Riccardo Cabrisas noted that the doors of Russian universities, including military medical ones, are open for Cuban youth, and added that Cuban specialists are working with colleagues from Russia in terms of creating vaccines. Cabrisas stressed that cooperation with the Russian Federation in the line of defense departments occupies a special position in Russian-Cuban relations.

After a recent visit to Moscow of representatives of the Cuban Defense Ministry in the Western media, materials appeared in which it was reported that the Cuban military were allegedly sent to Syria. At the Cuban embassy in Moscow, these statements were called nonsense.

      It is unlikely that something will work out. Castres will die and Cuba will fall into the hands of the Americans completely. Or the war will be on the island.

          The most modern submarine in the United States, which is engaged in the installation of equipment for intercepting traffic from fiber optic cables, is Jimmy Carter (tail number SSN-23), equipped for service on February 19, 2005. The $ 3,2 billion submarine is equipped with classified equipment for wiretapping fiber optic cables.

          There is no information about our information, which in general does not mean anything.

    Riccardo Cabrisas, Deputy Head of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Freedom Island, arrived in Moscow. He met with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
    The positions in politics are quite appropriate, so they are not just gathering to pamper. And even today there was a message that we are allocating 1,2 billion Euros to Cuba "for the construction of power plants." So that's it! the Americans opened the embassy in Havana a couple of months ago - again they will feed the local dissidents with expired buns, and we will slowly, slowly again ... Everyone understands that Cuba will never give us such a debt, but at the same time, no matter what power plants they build under our wing and without energy, no embassies will bake buns! Simple and effective ...

    In my opinion, not everything is so simple with Cuba. People like to appreciate Russians and remember people over 50. Young people gravitate toward the West not very much, but a start has been made. There are Canadians, Chinese and a little we are held in high esteem. Was there on May 14 but a look from the hotel and a couple of excursions. And so in Cuba klassss and for sure ... (my love)
